Hard to believe but my first flight in RV-8 N898DK was 19 years ago today: May 30, 2019.

Unfortunately, it was a better day to be inside at Aero Valley (52F) working on the condition inspection than outside facing clouds like that shown below.



Happy anniversary to my RV-8 -- first flight on May 30, 2005.

Anniversary prop hub lube



View out the hangar door at Aero Valley. Lots of rain and thunder but the cool air felt good.

It's amazing how fast 19 years can go by isn't it?

Many congrats Chris. I was out there today - also very much not flying

Thank you my friend. So many good memories attached to this magic carpet -- LOE, Oshkosh, Sun 'n Fun, formation flights and so much more. It's a good thing I'm not getting any older

Yeah, nice decor. Those babies aren't going flying anymore but sure look cool.
