 |
|
The main kit box for serial # ECV001 Vixen arrived here on June 29, 1993. I made the first flight out of Hilo, Hawaii (ITO) on January 14, 2009. It turned out to be, as they say, a non event. It was one of the most rewarding and exciting things I've done in my whole life and that's saying something at 69 years of age. All of you that are building really have a great day to look forward to!!! Thanks to all who have provided input over the years and special thanks to John & Debra McBean. Lloyd Eggstaff

Congrats on the first flight! It is a VERY exhilarating feeling when the wheels break the ground for the first time!
Last time I was in Hilo it was to inspect a tank that had split a seam and let molasses run down the streets of Hilo. I think it was in 98 or 99. Spent some time out under the docks Xraying the fuel pipes. Lived on Oahu for 2 years. Darn, that was the toughest job I ever had... the refinery's are right on the beach so I would go snorkeling everyday at lunch... that was tough to take!
