I flew her home from Indiana to Virginia, 5.4 hrs total, got back yesterday. Took me two days, I was stuck in Indiana on Sunday, then on the west side of the Blue Ridge in Elkins WV for another day. But thanks to courtesy cars and Holiday Inn express it was a great adventure. I took lots of pics on the trip, will post some of them up over the holiday. Now that I actually have her I will have lots more questions! Thanks again to everyone here for all the advice and comments. Here is a link to a pic of her: http://www.eaa1257.org/152.jpg

Your airplane [registry.faa.gov] got its Airworthiness Certificate about two weeks ahead of mine [registry.faa.gov] and the serial numbers are 50 apart.

I hope your first impression of it was exactly what you expected based on my observations. The seller had a pretty nice hangar didn't he? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> -Bryan U.S.C.G. licensed captain
