Smile Flight Time Milestone

Today, while participating in formation training with Falcon Flight instructor Roy Geer, I crossed a flight time milestone - 700 hours RV8 time in four years! What a great airplane; it does everything well: Cross country, Formation, Aerobatics, Instrument, and even ACM. All at a very low cost of operation. The RV8 has provided for me the most fun of any aircraft that I have flown. Thank you, Van!

Thank you, Van!


Very low cost of operation. I had a guest rider tonight Mr Morozov of Russia look at that RV grin









He drove me from right seat around Long Island and then landed on Block Island.










Thank you Van. Igor ordered ready to fly RV7 from Cetus Aircraft of Moscow.
