Three Airplanes and Five Guys

The airplanes for our trip are kit built airplanes. Two were built by the pilots and one was purchased from it's builder. All three airplanes have 2 seats and very similar performance and carrying capacity. Here is one of the 2 RV-6  airplanes. The third is a RV-4. We will have more pictures of the other planes and pilots as Saturday approaches.

This airplane is 642MD and was built by Mike Stewart and  Darrell Skogman. We will share the pilot duties for the trip. You can check the link on the top right to learn more about the Vans Aircraft kits.
