That's me!
Mikey, if not for this site, I am not sure that it would have gotten done!
Thanks to all! Thanks to Spike as well for starting this site many years ago!

I'm in the same boat CJ...RB kept the lights on for me to complete mine.
Nice write up, one of the better one's I've seen honestly.

Way to go CJ. One of the reasons my N number ends in"P" is for perseverance. You have it too bud.
Congrats CJ

That's a lot Captain but doable. Come with me to Alaska next year you will bring back almost 100 hours from the trip.

Thanks guys!
Vlad, I would love to do Alaska next summer with you, but that might have to wait one more year. I have been putting off a trip to Sweden with my cousin to see my family for too long and we will likely do that this coming summer.
Besides, I may have the plane in the paint shop while I am gone... that is if I can come up with a scheme that I like!
I wonder how many new RB guys we have here as a result of me mentioning the site in the announcement? I see a few new faces here.
It is good to see more activity here. I must admit that I have been posting less lately. Maybe that is because I am flying more?!?!
CJ
Congrats John!

It was really great seeing you in person for the first time at Oshkosh, CJ! My only regret is that I didn't make it out to the field to see your plane. Our door is still open to you, if you make it over to the left coast sometime. Come visit!

JBird! Welcome to RivetBangers!
I was at Cranlands too! What a great fly-in.
Here's a shot of the Aluminum Mistress on the way to KPYM from Chappin Field at 11,500'

J, you should have introduced yourself and said hello!

I should have done just that.... I did ask you if it was an rv7 or rv9 . I was undecided between the 2 models but it was exciting to see an excellent example of an rv7. I also believe that the second rv7 was Mike Bullock?
My fiancé caught your flyby but filming stopped as soon as you started the climb.
I actually waited around just to see you guys takeoff. My poor fiancé was freezing her tail off but I had to see the climb.
Thanks for that second flyby!!!

Yup, that was my RV-7 there also!
