    Why spend $$$ on the Game Bird when Van's RV-4's are much less expensive:

    Try 4 ocean crossings in 6 days, 2 pilots + FE. Then add a 1200 mile commute home.

    He was on my (and others) No Fly list BEFORE the incident but for other reasons.

    Met Huggy for the first time at Oshkosh today. Here he is enthusiastically holding court and patiently answering all questions from the audience in the dreadful heat. Came back an hour later and was still at it. Great rep for the retiring U-2 program.

    This Iranian living in Great Britian does a pretty good job of reporting:

    Those going to Oshkosh planeless stop off in Minneapolis, pick up my RV-8 and fly there in style. I'll even throw in a full tank of 100LL with the sale.

    Having flown it, that is impressive and obviously flown clean.

    I'd say most of us airline types and probably ALPA Safety never knew this marginal separation was going on until now. Only landed on Rwy 33 once in the Bus due to x-winds on Rwy 01. Currently fly out of South St Paul airport VFR to the south and pass thru MSP Rwy 30L&R final with 1,000' separation which seems close under the Class B shelf.

    I have a buddy that is a CA at Endeavor that join later in life after successful career in the computer business. Has no desire to go to a major to make more $$$ and is content not to have to move. Enjoys flying his RV on days off. For some of us it is quality of life over the $$$.

    Could not agree more. Had two 1hr lessons in a Citabria and was signed off. No wind in So. AZ. Learned more about x-wind landings and basic flying skills when I flew for a commuter for a year (BE-99/SD-330) and 30 yr ownership of RV-4/RV-8 than I did in the AF. Phantom was the easiest plane to land of any I flew.

    Interesting comment about no fly list. It is an important tool to use. This is going way back in time but do any of you know who Lyle Prouse is? Although I never flew with him, word was out and several of us were proactive by adding his name. May have saved our careers. BTW, I retired at 59. Enjoyed it but never looked back.
