Van's Test Flight

OK... the weather was somewhat rainy and cool but Tad and I managed to get down to Aurora to visit Vans Aircraft. We went on the little tour they give and talked airplanes for the entire morning. Joe was able to give us both a ride in the 9a and Tad and I were completely amazed by just about everything that plane has to offer. We did some slow flight, simulated go-arounds with full flaps(amazing climb out) , a couple of wing overs and a real nice short field landing! i was blown away by the range this plane has. How about the feet on the floor stalls, turns....hahaa amazing really!
As you can see by the smile on our faces!

Needless to say we came home with each a share in the tail-kit!
