Hey guys, watch the video until around 7:24 or so. Does that airplane look familiar to anyone? She does look purdy!

I was having a heck of a time paused and looking at 7:24. Sure was blurry on that ramp.

7:42 rings a bell ... A nice little fly by near the end too!

Default "Decending Dove" is the correct answer!
It is indeed "Decending Dove"! He brings it up to my "home" airport fairly regularly! It is one smokin' hot RV-8!!
Scott, see you soon at KCPU for coffee and muffins!

Default It's a show winner, guys......
.......and I just touched it this weekend! Scott showed up on Saturday at Chico and I can attest to the fact that it is a work of love. Painted at home, Scott rubbed every paint ridge (where colors meet) and there is no ridge anywhere. His attention to detail makes this -8 one very, very special airplane.....a true work of art!

Regards,
