Many thanks.
Just finished my private after 40 years of family, kids and an aerospace engineering career. One of my instructors and friend, Mike (who is building an RV-8) posted my name on this site and asked if anyone could show me their RV. I got an email from Dale here in Sierra Vista who not only showed me his RV-6 but took me up for an incredible flight over the SE Arizona mountains. I am still trying to recover mentally from rolls and wingovers and some maneuvers that Dale did to demonstrate the capabilities of the RV. Wow! I can't thank Dale enough for his generosity as well as the friendliness of the RV community. Dale also let me fly the RV-6 and I was impressed with how responsive the RV was. Now I have to figure out how to buy or build one. Thanks Dale!  |

Welcome to VAF!
Bud, welcome aboard the good ship VAF 
If you think flying someone else's RV is a thrill, wait till you fly one you built yourself.
