Hanger time....

I met Rob at the hanger last night. He came straight from work. I brought the seats but he was installing a new alternator. I'm the official flashlight holder and go-fer. It won't be long before the plane is flight worthy again.

Rob's friend who is building an RV7a just flew his for the first time yesterday. It's amazing that a bunch of material in your garage can be bolted and bent into a plane that you actually sit in at fifteen thousand feet going 180 plus miles an hour and feel so safe! I know some of you don't think that way but you just don't "get it". I'm sure if Rob wasn't so into this I'd probably be right with you. So glad I'm NOT!

I do look forward to going flying again............

Planes don't crash very often...certainly safer than a car! I love reading about your adventures!!!

Marianne, I really enjoy looking at your great pictures in flight and on the ground (as well as your beautiful grandchildren). You and Rob have quite the life. I miss you. Jane
