Life is good
Arriving at Homedale about 5:00.
What a great flight. This was my
first long trip in a Kitfox and it
was better than I anticipated.
The comfort factor out did the
RV-7 that I flew back to
OshKosh, WI in last summer.
What a great little plane!!!

A motley crew.
The whole trip was fantastic and we
all had a good time. We are already
talking about next year and with hard
work and some luck I will be flying my
bird back home.
