Come hell or highwater I will be at Johnson Creek for next years fly in. What was a 1:20 minute flight in my friends Bonanza would have been almost 3 hours in the beast and time constraints in my construction business prevented me from bringing the 'toy' . I admit when the Husky next to us left at first light on Sunday morning and I was still bundled up under the wing my first thought was ... DAMN that is soooo kool waking up to a departing aircraft. The Lyc did sound good but next year you guys will awaken to the roar of a V-8 at full song. You will think you died and were ressurected at a NASCAR race..
Honestly. I was amazed at two things when you both took off. One was how fast you both got off the ground and the other was how DAMN quiet both of your planes are..
