Guess who flew in with his new RV-8?

HT wanted to trade his RV-8 for the PT-19 in the background. He's digging into his secrect cash stash in the cockpit to get out more bills. Sadly, a deal couldn't be struck and he had to fly back to DFW in his RV.

Milo of the 13th TAS volunteered to negotiate the deal for him... maybe that was the problem. Milo poiltely looked away as HT entered the combination to the cockpit safe.

All was not lost however, as HT decided to make the best of it and go flying with a PT-19 pilot. Toad generously offered to fill the back seat of the RV for a tour of the local countryside. Legal considerations prevent the revelation of the exact flight profile but suffice it to say that a good time was had by all. There was some airwork, some low level work and a bit of pattern work.

The RV-8 was judged by Toad to be a very nimble handling aircraft with nice control feel and lots of power. HT agreed.

After the fun part, HT decided he had to get back and get the new B-25C finished up for the next release. So he cranked up and hit the skyways.

I hate to admit this but although I took the camera along on the flight I only managed to snap one picture and the auto focus must have picked something in the cockpit because it's a blur. The rest of the time we were too busy flying to take pictures!

Sure was fun!

Thanks a bunch HT! I truly enjoyed that. Next time I'll come down to DFW.

Ozark, it's IXD. New Century in Gardner, KS. Or, if you prefer, the old Olathe Naval Air Station (my preference).

I do hope that is NOT a cigarette in HT's mouth while he was fueling. Not very smart at all if it was. :eek:

Is it just me but doesn't HT look like some Columbian drug smuggler gassing up his plane to make another shipment?

I imagine AH is is just a front for his drug business - how many kids are killed each year by our playing this sim and supporting HTs evil cocaine empire....
