That is a great picture Jim Hergert.
For those sanding and dreaming I can say that I and my
bride flew my Lancair 320 from Greensboro, GA (3J7) to Manassas, VA in 2.2
hrs. We babysat three grandbabies for six days then flew home in 2.3
hrs. If we had driven (Ugh) it would have been two days and ten hours each
way.
It took me six years to build my airplane but it was well
worth it. With children and grandchildren spread from California to
Colorado to Virginia, this little airplane is a wonderful machine.
Additionally, I cannot afford a P-51 so this is as close as I will get. It
is great looking and at fuel stops I always get admiring folks with
questions. My wife has to promp me to cut it off and get manned up.
I am extremely proud of my accomplishment.
The point is, keep working, keep your spirits up and look
forward to the flying days. It is a great way to travel.
