Reinforcing the comradery of the VAF community, I just wanted to comment on the special attention and significant time my CFII and I received from Jim Gray up in Broomfield,CO as he toured us around his hangar, humbly showing off his RV8 (N747JG) and his hangarmates' -8 and Giles. Wow!
As I stated somewhere in the linked thread, during last summer's EAA Rocky Mountain Regional fly-in at BJC, I was blown away by the quality of Jim's build and, now having spent a little more time looking it over, I can honsetly say I didn't see the half of it back then! From the well-balanced panel to the smart customizations, this is a top notch bird, by a top notch pilot, and a top notch guy!
Thanks to Jim and all of you who likely would have done the same for another wannabe RV driver in your area. I look forward to my opportunity to provide such an experience with the next RV builder generaton!!
