Rob and Kelly's RV-10

Flew with Tom and Kay Staggs (Long-EZ) up to Bellingham for lunch at a Greek place close to the airport.  Kelly and our friend BJ rode with us.  Great time, great food, and a great facility at Bellingham, complete with a crew car!

Everyone is cool, calm, and collected

Exactly 11 months after our first flight, we reached 100 hours on the airplane, just as we returned home!

On Saturday, 10 of us in 6 airplanes met in Friday Harbor for lunch.  It was a rare sunny, relatively warm day in February, so the ramp (parking area) at Friday Harbor was packed.  We had a good lunch at the Cask & Schooner.

Here’s a video of us leaving.

I took our friend Brad up for his first flight in the RV yesterday.  It was windy and bumpy around Paine, but less so around Seattle.

Here’s a video of the landing:

Here’s a video of the entire flight:

Kelly and I flew to Pierce County Airport to meet some of the EAA guys for breakfast.  We met up with Jim Piavis (RV-7) on the way, and he took some great pictures.

Jim’s pictures are here.  Our pictures are here.
