N614EF: The little plane that almost couldn't
As you may have read elsewhere, Tom Berge conducted the first flight of N614EF today.
From the blog:
When I started this project 11 years ago, I wanted to end up with two things: (1) An airplane and (2) The same person next to me who was next to me when we started. By the way, that's not in order. What I got out of it that I didn't anticipate was a great number of friends I met along the way, managing to keep most of them.
I've just uploaded video to the blog.

OSH
Bob, Congratulations,Now its a Plane! I'm glad you will be at Osh,and I know you have no time to bring your ship if its a working vacation,Can't one of your Trusted friends fly her in for you? After all,you and your Fans have been through on this build the Perseverance ribbon will never be more deserved than the one you and your many Fans have earned. What better way to display this fine ship for sale than to a crowd of what 80,000 potential buyers.Forgive me, I'm just thinking out loud.
