I took the kids to lunch today at EMT (where I just finished my BFR
after a 10 year layoff)... We were watching the planes come and go
when a beautiful low wing aircraft landed and taxied toward us.
"That can't be an RV-10 I said to myself... and with the White/Yellow/
Blue paint job that was becoming more clear as the plane drew closer,
I knew that it certainly couldn't be "that" RV-10... but it was...
N410RV with Gus in the left seat and I felt like Elvis just walked in
to my living room. What a thrill.
Gus graciously answered the first 30 or so questions I had as I
scrutinized the fiber glass details that have so occupied my mind over
the last few months. Then he had to load up his passengers and head
off to Camarillo for an RV-12 dog and pony show today. I took a few
low grade pics with the iphone as he rotated and disappeared off to
the West.
Can anyone watch my kids for a few hours today? I've got some sanding
to do...
