RV-8 Transition Training

[hqcook]

I just returned from transition training with Bruce Bohannon in his RV-8. Bruce holds an FAA-issued Letter of Deviation Authority to conduct this training, and has been doing it for several years. What an incredible resource! Bruce is an excellent instructor, patiently and thoroughly explaining principles and procedures beforehand. The aircraft is well equipped, including rear seat brakes, and the local area is perfect for training. I feel that I greatly reduced the risks and anxiety of my upcoming first flight. Bonus: I got to know a true flying legend, and discovered we were mutual friends with Deke Slayton, another legend himself. What a fantastic experience. I’m so glad I committed to the transition training, and worked with Bruce to get it done. I highly recommend Bruce to anyone. Onward!
