I remember back when I was a kid and reading Dear Abby or Ann Landers or one of those two and some young girl wrote in lamenting that she wasn't popular and wondering what she could do to stand out more. And the advice - and I swear this is true! - was that she should hang around with uglier girls and she'd look a lot better. Quality stuff, there.
Anyway, here's famed RVator Tony Kirk providing a fine example of the technique in this photo with a decrepit old man.
Those gals were on to something!
Anyway, I brought Tony to town because I wanted one of the best to give the RV-12iS a thorough going over and, heck, he held my hand so many times while he was at Van's that I think he probably built the thing as much as I did.
We took this picture after lunch at the St. Paul Downtown Airport watching a couple of very rich people getting into their Porsch after alighting from their Cessna Citation which had just traveled from Milan to Nice to Shannon to Gander to St. Paul.
Must be nice. But even though they've got a Citation and a Porsch, you know what they don't have? An RV-12iS with an airworthiness certificate.
I do.
Thanks, Tony!
