The new owner of "my" 7 sent me pictures of the new livery today. It's not completely finished, but they are enjoying flying it during the paint process. Wynn is just head over heals about the airplane!
Happy in South Africa!

That's really neat, Chad! How do you feel about the paint job? You said it's not finished... keep the pics coming as they finish it, will you?

The rest of the paint job will make it come together, but as is...gotta love the red! I will post the pics as they come to me.

Yeah, makes me a bit sad too, but I know Wynn will take great care of it, and it will be flown often over some of the most beautiful country there is. Plus, if I ever get a chance to visit the airplane (and Wynn...), he has a beach house we've been invited to stay in!
Rivetbangers to South Africa anyone???

Too bad we can't get a group of RV's together and fly down there in mass! Wouldn't that be fun?

A US to SA trip would be EPIC! I'll put that one on the bucket list, after I complete the first item on my list which is to build an airplane.
