So we did our day trip to S&F and it was fine. Met most of the people I've been talking to while flying off the first year. Upon departure the 'air boss', for lack of a better handle, seemed to be sorting fast traffic from slower traffic by assigning 9L to the slow (Cessna and Cherokee type) from the fast (RVs Lancelots, and Cirri) on 9R. If that was the plan, I found it wanting as I lined up behind several Piper products on 9L while the many RVs on 9R were given a "... that fine red and gold RV 7 is cleared to go on 9R". Okay, so on a gray day the 10 resembles a lot of Lock Haven product , but it is an RV! And btw, it out climbs and out runs just about everything that looks like it. Well, after throttling back and S-turning trying to stay in trail for those first 3 miles, I couldn't avoid passing 2 planes before decidind to exit the conga line while running up on a third. This thing can really go! So, Mr. 'air boss', figure out what an RV10 looks like, understand that it performs like every other RV, and keep that slower sheet metal out of the freakin' way!

Bill,
I saw them put you in that line with the slow spam cans (watching from the campground). It does feel good to be the one passing, not the one being passed. Glad you had a good flight home.
Do not archive.

Maybe that RV-10 logo on my cowling will help after all. Glad you made it back safely. At least you could start leaning early this way.

We flew in Thursday morning and just left before 1100 today - Saturday. Hot and Dusty. I was behind a C-172 coming in so I just flew it at 85knots with half flaps.
I didn't go last year, but I can say that there were only half the home builts there that I saw in 2010. Actually, lots of empty spaces on all the ramps.
The big problem for HBs is they close the ramp a half hour before any show and wait until the final act pilot is half way to the bar before they open back up. If the shows actually started on time, I could understand. IF I go again, I'm not parking at HB. I'll find a ramp that doesn't close during the show.
I only saw two other RV-10s at HB during the two days we were there.

Maybe fuel prices, last years tornadoes, and the excessively long airshow had something to do with it. I have been once in 2009 and may go with my brother from KSEF next year. I'll make sure I don't park in HB area. Triple Tree will probably be much nicer for me.

So sad, used to be a premier show... I went from 1998 to 2008, but haven't been since.... Just doesn't seem the same....

I was standing next to your plane and waiting to shake the hand of a fellow RV-10 pilot when they kicked us out for the show. I've been to at least ten Sun N Fun's and might have watched the show once. Not important to me it's the homebuilts that get me there. As said here not sure I will attend again soon, even left our RV at Kissimmee. Not the show of a few years ago. One thing they did improve on was the drinks, there were numerous outlets this year although they cost more than an aircraft.
