This week was something of a big transition for me. I had my last ever flight in an F-15 on Thursday (pictured below after being hosed do wn). And today I moved my RV-10 from my garage out to the hangar. I've been worry ing about how I was going to transport it as most trailers are only 6 feet wide. You can see I used a 4x8 sheet of 5/8 inch plywood strengthened by some 2x8 and 2x4 boards underneath to extend the trailer width out to 8' - perfect for the ge ar. It was easy to load and unload and traveled great.
My last day of work for the Air Force is at the end of this week, so I' m a full time airplane builder until I get my plane in the air - hopef ully before I have to go back to school next fall! I'm extra motivated now since I don't get to fly at work anymore...

For years, the RV-6 has been called the poor mans' F-16. I imagine that for most of us (certainly for me) the RV-10 is a big step up. For you, I guess it will have to do. Congratulations on the end of one career and the beginning of another.
