Hank, what is that black box behind your oil cooler?

Default Oil cooler support bracket

That's additional support bracket to the oil cooler, nothing fancy

Hi Tom,

Absolutely! I would love to! With a bit of modification and preparation, the RV can do a lot. There are preparation involve of course, but not as much as one would think. Some extra fuel, healthy engine and good fuel economy will make it possible. There are a lot of red tapes and paperwork hurdles, but if we can build an airplane, I don't think this will stop anyone here from going.

Default Seattle Future of Flight

So I look out my office window at Dreamlifter Ops here in Everett WA, and who do I see on the ramp? Hank Cheng and his crew providing a tour at Boeing Future of Flight. Talk about a stroke of luck!

Thanks Hank to you and your crew for sharing your Inspiration with aviation groups in the Seattle area. You really are an inspiration to us all.

We wish you fair skies and tailwinds for the remainder of your round the world journey.
