Well, it was an INCREDIBLE flying year for me. My first year of flying N357JS was an absolute dream come true!
I met so many people and had so much fun!
We ended the year off right with a trip to Katama Airfield, Martha's Vineyard and landed at the grass strip there. I don't consider it summer until I have been there, so it was only fitting to end it there as well.
Agent Orange and I met up at Jaffrey, NH for a quick bite and took these Halloween shots.
The Black and Orange really set each other off!
I also met this great woman who loves to fly!
Michelle used to fly as a kid with her dad and hadn't been in a plane since. She is amazed at the difference between her dad's old Cessnas and the RV!
I made many trips up to my house in Rangeley, Maine. It is MUCH easier to get there now!
Looking forward to the Winter Fly-in up there this coming February 6, 2016. Hope the weather will be good and we have great attendance. Put it in your schedule now!!! I will host as many people as possible and will bring my Red Dragon preheater! I can't guarantee hangar space though.
Wyatt logged a fair amount of hours too! He is going for his commercial rating now!
Finally made it to Oshkosh in my own plane too!!!
Been there, done that, got the mug!
Cheers!
Post up some of your favorite pictures from this past summer!
I would like to see them!
Vlad, I know that you have some!
I would post some of Mikey, but all the good ones have us displaying the international "hi" sign!

Out to Boulder, CO twice with my wife to visit my daughter.
Over the Grand Canyon 3 times (never gets old).

CJ it was a great flying year indeed thanks for the thread! If your first year was incredible it gets only BETTER. I am on my 5th flying year and still can't believe I built this thing myself. Some highlights from 2015.
My improvised BD Party in CJ hangar can you count how many RV owners are on this picture?
CJ himself.
Three musketeers at Gadabout Gaddis.
Scored three dry lake beds. Alvord Desert, Tonopah Test Range and Black Rock desert where they have Burning Man.
Added 29 new other then paved and unimproved strips to the logbook.
Explored several man made structures.
Made my fifth confirmed kill.
No KOSH but stopped by at S-n-F 2015.
And overall had a good time. Looking forward to better 2016!

Summer 2015 was definitely a fun one for my RV!
Beer run to Burlington, VT

Telling Vlad his body odor is less than desirable.

Beers with my college friend in Des Moines
Lake time in Wisconsin
Giving a bunch of friends the RV Grin!
