Hobbs Meter: 4,000 hours!

[Rosie]

Hi all,
Today was a big day for me in a couple of ways, but this was a HIGHLIGHT that occurred about an hour out from landing at Punta Cana (MDPC) in the Dominican Republic:



And 0.9 hours later, I landed in the Dominican Republic, after having flown 3989 miles from California to get here:



I would like to claim, before the entire VAF community, that I am, hands-down, the title of highest time BUILDER/OWNER of a single RV that has reached 4,000 hours on the hobbs meter!!!!

Yes, I know...there are pilots with this many RV flying hours in their logbook e.g. Kahuna, Turbo, Seagar, Van...I'm not talking total flying hours...I'm talking BUILDER/OWNER hours! It took nearly 15 years to get here...but I did. Let the discussion begin Rosie

That is simply awesome! Congratulations, I am sure you must be the winner.

Doesn't Vlad do 4000 hours in a year?

Fantastic accomplishment and enjoyed telling stories with you at Hard 8 Rosie!

Congrats. Just saw your wife's nickname. My wife's actual name is the same (without the 'gal').

So, who put the other 400 hrs on the RV?

Charlie
Slobovia Outernational (MS71)

Congratulations Ambassador! I am only at 1,900

Good thing you put 'single' in there. HA!
A great accomplishment Rosie. Ive seen you fly. Thats a lot of abuse on a plane. Keep sharing with others your plane findings as you go along. Its a valuable resource for others.

you are the man of the hour. thats a lot of miles over the ground. a testament to the planes we fly. keep up the good flying. congrats! and keep filling those fuel tanks.

Congrats Rosie.
From first flight some 15 years ago to the 4000 hour mark on your grand trip is indeed note worthy.
That being said, have a safe flight from here on out.
