Yup! Louise and Danny are the only people to have solo'ed the Valkyrie besides myself! She took her up on Saturday evening for about 45 minutes, shot some landings, and came back with a certifiable RV grin on her face. Another RV-8 pilot joins the ranks!

Now that she's done the easy part (flying the airplane), we get to start transitioning her to the avionics - this might just force me to finally write some readable documentation...

Paul,
What was her take on what it was like to land the -8? It may be helpful to hear this opinion since there is a current thread floating with this topic...

Well gee Kirk, you kinda took all the fun out of that! Kill joy

It would have been a lot more fun if people had to work at the answer!

My guess would have been that they both have tee shirts like "I hate Paul" or maybe "Rocket Scientist's side kick" or something like that!

My guess would have been Danny starting an RV-3.

I'm sure she'll answer later on - she's currently stuck in an aluminum mailing tube on her way to Miami for work....
