Default Phase I done!

Finished Phase I testing this morning. Came home, did the paperwork and asked my wife if she wanted to go for a ride. I've been worried since I started the project that she might not like the back seat as she has clostrophobia issues. We decided to go to T82 (Fredericksburg, TX) for lunch; all of 12 miles away. As we landed there a P-51B called initial and we watched it land as we deplaned. Shorlty thereafter a B-17G and B-24J landed. Collings Foundation. We had a great lunch, looked at the warbirds and flew back home.

The best part of the day was that she loved it! She especially liked the view.

Congrats. You're free!

I'm less than a month out from entering Phase I. It's been a long road!
