20 years of flying!

Post by captain_john »

Hey All,

Saturday, February 27, 2016 will marque 20 years since my first flight as a student pilot.

Since then, I have been test pilot twice on 2 RV's (one, being my own RV-7), flown many different planes, seaplanes and helicopters.

I have many new friends and had a great time.

I hope that the weather will be conducive for a memorable anniversary flight.

Anybody have any ideas for a good destination to make it memorable?

Time flies! May as well fly it in an RV!

Mikey,

Yes, the weather is looking really good! I am up for anything as of now.

There is talk of some sort of shindig at 6b6 Minuteman Field.

Might be brewing 10 gallons of beer at the hangar too!

If you want to spend the night again and boot around Plymouth, that could be arranged too!

How does your schedule look?

Next twenty year celebration I won't be alive!

No problem, as it turns out I may not fly at all. As I type this, my 93 year old aunt is being admitted to the hospital. I will likely be spending the day doing what is needed.

See you soon.
