TV reporter goes for a ride in RV-4
Rebecca seems to really enjoy her second ever, small airplane ride.

WOW! Chris
What a beauty! I noticed she kept that perfect smile like a real professional through the loops and rolls, maybe not quite so natural at some points but she held up real good. Born to be wild huh? I'm impressed.

Have a great race at TVAR 4...I see that kinda post card, and definitely wish I was there!

tough duty
It was alot of fun but it was only her second light airplane flight ever and I was sure she'd get sick. She sure supprised me. Did you guys see her report from the front seat of the -4 on another thread?
She says she'll come out to the TVAR 4 race if she can get off work. I am sure she'd be up for a fast trip around the race course.

she was in the photo plane when they shot some video of the Corsair

Long take off?
Chris,
as an aside, you seemed to have taken a long time to take off. I counted something like 18 seconds.
Is that needed for a two person take off in an RV-4? Or were you just taking it easy?

I was taking it easy... but some of that time we were airborne and just accelerating. Fixed pitch prop for max top end too.

Blackberry in hand?
Evidently capable of multitasking as well, was she doing her email in flight? Rick
