It was nice meeting you on Tuesday. Thanks for the CD. I found that craigslist listing. It was an RV-3 based in troutdale. Looking forward to your next video and talking more next time at the barn.
Awesome video! working on a slow-build -8; currently about halfway through wing construction....... your video is an inspiration and a major motivating factor to keep me "banging rivets!" Thanks for sharing it!
You lucky person to be able to own a plane. And I do agree the B1rd's as well as GU11's can be hell on an acft. When I was in Iraq we hit a flock. Had 6 impacts. Did'nt bring us down. But sure increased the pucker factor.
Too many moving parts for an Air Force guy, ha,ha. Our biggest foe on low levels were B-1RD's. This is some awesome flying!! I watch it often before I take my -8 out. Life is to be lived!
The pilot is insane. He's seriously risking death for a couple of minutes of thrill. I've known too many pilots that liked flying low down canyons or over the ocean. I've been to too many funerals.
If you're going to do stuff like this - make sure there's no one around who loves you and will cry when you're gone.
This has been here for a while....but still a winner. Just finished my RV-8 and a Husky to boot, so may just have to practice....just joking! Neat Washington scenes.
I think the song came before Steven. any how, AWESOME video...couldnt have picked a better song for it! it was the song I was actually looking for when this popped up, Thanx!
We are building an RV-9a ! Check out acroduster he posted a blog type video about our plane ;). The previous owners of our place built an RV-4. Very neat planes, and excellent workmanship on the kits!

Awesome movie! Even better that the guy got to build the RV himself and then go out and enjoy it.

@richardr2000 Spend a lifetime living and crying for others, then, if you can, live & die for yourself.

@richardr2000 at least he is doing something worthwhile if he dies and not sitting at home waiting for old age to take him

The best version of this song is by Doug Geeting, the famous Talkeetna, Alaska, mountain flyer.
