New RV-8 Owner just home from Oklahoma
A lot of first to speak of but the two biggest are I now own an RV-8 and I just flew in home to Virgina from Oklahoma.
The trip writeup has none of the excitement, beautiful sand beaches or spectacular sunsets of " some other trip report"  But it was definitely a personal accomplishment.
I wanted to share the write-up with family and friends so it's over on my blog. (Plus I needed way more words and big pictures than I wanted to burden VAF with.)
I bought a plane and flew it from Oklahoma ... sorry, it's not a catchy new song ...
I loves me my RV grin !

Not sure what to say except congratulations and thanks for sharing.
This story and the updates are the stuff of dreams.
As we started our RV-8 adventures around the same time, I feel a connection to your comments.

Thanks George. And I hope you won't mind if I steal that quote in you signature. I have some dear and now old pilot friends who will take some comfort and a chuckle from those words.

Congratulations
on your purchase. I enjoyed reading about your trip. As someone who was born, raised, and learned to fly in VA it made me anxious to come back and do a little sight seeing from the air and visit family and friends. Enjoy your RV!
