Back in the Game

Hello VAF,

Just picked up a flying RV-7.
Previously owned 2 RV-4’s with my father 2002-2016.
My son’s chipped in a third each on this one.
Should be fun! They start checkouts today.

There should be a ‘caption contest’ for that picture!

Hope it’s everything and more for you guys!

Congratulations.

Caption-

“What makes an airplane fly?”
Answer: money, lots of money. Preferably OPM.

Oh, and he’s gonna smack his head closing the canopy!

Well, you're half right! It is a taildragger.

I've got a good caption, I think.

"I built that airplane."

Which I did back in 2003. It was my third RV build after an RV-3 and RV-6.

Congratulations!
