This

>Bob) and he went for a 1st flight in my KR to the Cape Girardeau

was

video
>and it exceeds my expectations. For those that have never flown in a
KR,
>this is as real as it gets. We did a really good landing and then on
the
>way back, I let him know we were going to do a botched approach that
we
>would have to correct for. This required a good slip and a bit of a
>bounce that was all captured out of the canopy. Pretty good friend to
do
>this with me! Anyway besides the landing sequences, you will also see
>the KR up close and personal with an F-18, F16 and a Blackhawk
>helicopter .... on the ground. They also gave me permission to make
>closed traffic, a low approach and an abrupt vertical move to leave
the
>area which is also on tape. This video will be shown at our talk at
>Oshkosh. By the way, I got to see several KR people which was why I
went
>in the first place. Thanks for the hospitality Mike and Larry. For
those
>that aren't going, you will have to wait. My friend, also named Bob,
has
>volunteered, once I'm back, to finish the edit with my narration of
the
>landings and then encode it for delivery on the Web. Hopefully by
late
>August.

>Take care and I hope to see everyone at Oshkosh.
