Over 1000 hours of RV fun
Been meaning to post this. N131RV crossed 1000 hours on the hobbs on a trip to visit my mother a few days ago. Been quite the ride, this plane and I have been from Vegas to HiltonHead and quite a few places in between.
Later y'all,
JP

I had over 1000 hours of RV fun before I even flew.  But I know what you mean and congrats on the milestone.

Our 9A reached 1,000 after five years. It took us to all lower 48, Canada, and the Bahamas. It is our magic carpet.

Very cool
I'm envious! I wish I could claim a 1000 (or more) hours on my bird - something to aspire too!
Go RVs!!!! |
