What happened to Vlad?
Gentlemen, do you know what happened to Vlad, the super-traveller-super-photographer-super-active russian?
I miss reading his posts...

Maybe Hurricane Sandy had something to do with it.

CIA found him?
Or was Vlad a figment of our collective imaginations as we dream about what it would be like to be able to fly where we want, when we want?

The last I remember, he was collecting parts to make new cover plates for his fuel tanks...something about needing to open them up for some work.

Vlad has been working on a super secret theoretical physics principle which should allow him to compress AvGas so his existing tanks can hold 3x the fuel. He had to ground his airplane while he installed the molecular bond cohesion intensifier.
