I helped build this plane belonging to Steve VanBatavia. Along with my first flight in it, I also did my first acrobatics which were a few aileron rolls left and right. It was amazing! I was sort of timid on the controls, though, since this was an actual plane and not the simulator I usually fly.

He built it over the course of about 2 years while in A&P school, where we met.

Sadly I only had my crumby cell phone camera to try and capture the thrill. My face hurt afterwards from smiling so huge the whole time. Its a beautiful aircraft.

  • This reminds me of the time I accidently got into a plane instead of my bed. I woke up flying over the ocean.

    We can do audio preview! WOW

  • That's absolutely gorgeous :)
