Brief Description: Great Southern Sonex Gathering

I would just like to say thanks to all of you who organized and put on a great event. It was really neat to be able to meet many who have inspired me with your posts, videos and photos of your projects. I would also like to thank all of you who flew in and allowed us see your planes up close and in person. Certainly no two were exactly alike, but they all were great displays of excellent craftsmanship. Just being able to talk with other builders to find out how they are approaching various challenges will prove to be of great benefit to me in the days, weeks, months and years ahead. Finally I'd like to thank Mike and Robert for giving rides (and if there were others, thank you too). Robert, I still have the grin on my face, thanks for my first ever barrel roll! I'll never again be truly happy flying a 172. I look forward to the day when I can fly in with #1596. To view a youtube video of the rides that Robert gave, check out the link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH-giKOevK4 My ride begins at 2 minutes into the video.
