Guess What I Did Today?

[FLYPTV]

I think I can now be officially embraced as a member of the club.

For starters, I made my first donation vafnet. I figured I better do that now that I am a member of the club. . . and have used up my stay in the honor system.

While building an -8 is still in my future, you know when the kids are gone, my career is stable, and my wife is tired of being chased around the house.

I was presented with an opportunity that was just too good to pass up. So I didn't pass it up

I now have a half interest in an RV6 and I am all checked out with about 25 hours in RV's over the last few years, and 5 in the last week. Per my insurance checkout requirements. If the weather isn't too bad this weekend, I think it'll be a very fun weekend. . .

not even one congratulations?

Congrats and welcome to this rather eclectic group. I was also a long time lurker before I even realized that this was a donation sponsored site.

Enjoy your RV!

Who's told you it's a donation sponsored site?!?!....it's NOT a donation sponsored site (not even close) - unless DR counts my monthly check as a "donation"! It's an advertiser sponsored site....ask me how I know

Cheers,

Stein is right....it's mostly advertisement sponsored, but the readership donations are very much appreciated (I'm typing this wearing my www.SteinAir.com shirt, BTW).

Like how I worked in that link?

Yeah, I just used it! "CLICK"

[SteinAir]

Ha - I actually laughed out loud at that! Ya know I can't resist all the "tongue in cheek" stuff

Keep up the good work and don't wear out that SteinAir shirt too fast....I don't make as much on those as you do on your VAF shirts so I can't afford to keep replacing them

Cheers,
Stein

Just took the wife for her first RV ride. She really isn't feeling too well, but she went anyway. Grandpa had the kids all day. We had lunch at the airport restaurant, then out for about 40 minutes. I had to coax her a bit, but once she sat in the airplane while it was in the hangar and realized that it was a "real" airplane, she was good. It was a little bumpy, we are expecting rain tomorrow so a bit of an unstable air mass aloft.

I forgot to put the wedge under her seat. Like a trooper, she didn't say anything till we were on our way home and talking about the flight. She says, "its kind of hard for me, I couldn't see out the front window, all I could do is look out the side." Doh! I said, "Sorry I forgot to boost up your seat."

She just came into my office and told me she had a nice day and she isn't against us owning an airplane. Cool.

the bakersfield bunch takes off every Sat. and sometimes Sun. at 7:30am and goes to somewhere for Breakfast, usually PTV from what I've noticed.

also the Rocket Shop Cafe is ready to open any minute at Bakersfield Muni so join in the flights.

bad thing is, that tule sp? fog is starting up about now, right?

WAY to go on a very smart way into plane ownership!!!!

That's the best thing a woman can say (man how times change as we get older).
