February 28, 2016 - Two-Ship Flight with Pax Bill P. |
||||||
| Bill P. is a friend of mine out at Essex Skypark. I've been meaning to take him for a ride in the RV-7 for a long time. Today was the day! Bill is a pilot himself but has never been in an RV. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
To introduce someone to the world of RV flying, I think it is necessary to fly with another RV. Mugsy came over and we spent the first part of the flight doing some formation practice.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| I led Mugsy through the standard maneuvers, then we swapped lead and it was payback time. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the sun was brutal at times.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Turning and burning over the Eastern Shore. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| A nice shot of Mugsy turning over the Chester River. Bill P. took all these photos by the way. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| After close formation practice we did some follow the leader in extended trail and fun fly. Then Mugsy headed for home and Bill P. flew the RV for awhile. I think he liked it. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
Back at the airport, Bruce pulled his RV-3 out into the sun. It's fully operational, ready to go, after a two-year restoration.
