Here's one from Galt Airport's (10C) annual flour bombing contest.  All onlookers (biped and bovine alike) seem to enjoy it.  My kids and I didn't win, but had a great time.

OK, it's hard to choose the favorites but here are some of mine.  Pretty easy to figure out what is going on in the first picture.

I'm guessing... Airworthiness?

I'm guessing... Airworthiness?

Yep, the Avid+ getting it's flying papers.  Took it for its first flight that evening and it has been just a blast ever since.  For me, it has been a very good fit for what I like to do.  I liked my Avid MKIV but it just did not have enough room to pack gear, and was really tight with two larger people.  The Avid+ solved that problem for me and it is about as inexpensive to fly and maintain as any airplane I know of.  The plane and engine combination has been very, very, trouble free, about like a car in fact.  At 3.5 to 4.5 gph cruise on mogas and 28 gal tanks it has the range I need, and I can afford to fly it anytime just for fun without worrying about the cost of the fuel. 

 

There is a lot to be said about finding an airplane that fits what you want to do.  The Avid+ lets me go places and land at the places I want to go.  A friend in our EAA club build a beautiful RV and flew it for about 1 year and decided to sell it.  He said once the go fast thrill wore off and he flew to all the airports on his list he kept looking down at the places he wanted to land and knew he could only do it once.  He sold it and is working on a Rans S-6.  Others love to go fast or do aerobatics.  I would love to have additional planes to do that but my primary interest is getting out to places and being able to land there.  The Avid+ and the Avid/KF planes let us do that affordably.

 

In a word it is best described as freedom.

You couldn't have said it better Randy. If I lived in a place like you guys up there I would have a little different setup with my airplane also, but here in the flatlands my Bandit does just what I want it to do.

This is the Kittitas valley near Ellensburg, WA.  It is home to Central Washington University and the best timothy hay in the world.  We have the valley and hay fields out the front door and the transition to pine and sage in the foothills of the cascades out the back door.

 

My kitfox is the smartest in the fleet as it has been to college twice.  I'm the old guy in the red coat.

Very inspiring pictures. Wish I had some like that to show. I realize it's out of place but here is one of me flying formation with my currently plane over the Space Coast of Florida.

It flies!  And looks good too. 
That's good enough for a photo on here IMO.

Thanks for posting.
