Very nice looking aerie guys.. Well done to the whole team!!
TAF is only going get busier now!!
Yep, I have to agree, what an absolute privilege it was to be alongside for the first flight. A big thank you to Mike, James and Jean for agreeing to have us there for Bearcat and Air Bear to take the pics and AWJ Cub pilot and Rykie to handle the Go-Pro video from the Extra. We made loose arrangements a few days in advance with Cheri not knowing exactly when it would happen and briefed the detail on the day prior to the flight. Despite the fact that the chaps were engrossed in the final preparations for the test flight, they were incredibly accommodating and took the time out to brief properly with us and, despite reserving the right to call off the sortie at any point, they did not. Hopefully, some of the images will be useful in evaluating angles of incidence etc.....
What a fantastic marketing machine "The Airplane Factory" is. Congratulations to the entire team.
