I'm New Here
I am a little ashamed, but I have come here to beg for a ride in an RV-8 or any RV for that matter.... I live in Fort Worth and keep my plane at Hicks. I know there are a bazillion RVs looming behind those hangar doors - I would be most greatful for a ride. I would offer a ride in my 182 in return, but I am assuming nobody would give a flip about a Cessna ride if they own an RV.
Mr. Doug Reeves took me for my first airplane ride EVER! This was before his RV was finished and we were in a 172. I think Doug had recently acquired his PP cert back then, but I am unsure. After we landed I went right to a Pilot shop and bought a Jepp book, a headset, E6B, plotter, etc... and started flight training. 10 years later I purchased a 182, finished what I started so many years earlier, and now I already want something else....
I rode in an RV-6 one time that was built in Carlsbad, NM by a man that was apparently one of my neighbors growing up although we never crossed paths. I regret that his name escapes me at the moment (Pardue?). I got sick on that ride and through up in my mouth.... embarrassed I held it in there until we landed and I spit it out... I am much better acclimated to the movement of an airplane and I am not so worried about vomiting. I promise I won't eat if somebody offers me a ride.
I will gladly contribute a pro-rata share of expenses (plus an equal prorata tip - wink wink).
If the owner of Borrowed Horse is watching the forum - I would just like to stand next to your plane. I love that thing.
