@ArlingtonRV and I flew our two RV-8s over to another airport for lunch Saturday. His Red, White, and Blue with stars RV-8 (which BTW, is the July calendar pic) proved to be a real chick magnet! And they were about his speed too!
(I just found this juxtaposition and the RV-8s reputed reputation humorous at the time.)

Whew, I hope I got everyone!
