48 years in the making - RV grin

Today, my old Air Force friend from 48 years ago, soloed his new to him RV-8. We served together as young instructors back in 1975 and reconnected via RVs. He saw my RV-8 on Facebook and after years of flying, T-37s, T-38s, F-4s, F-16s and lastly many years at United, he just had to have a RV-8. I helped him find a really nice one in the Chicago area and after a thorough pre-purchase, the deal was done and we brought it to it's temporary home in South Carolina. Several minor squawks were corrected while Tony went to visit Bruce Bohannon for as Tony puts it, "the best money I ever spent". So, today was the big day. Tony soloed his new RV-8. Needless to say, we both had that RV grin.
