FIRST FLIGHT

[Ernie]

Today at Smartt Field, Mo. Joe Sargent and N738S made their first
flight. Joe has been working on his RV-9A for three years and today he
got the RV Grin. He reported no problems, stalls stright ahead, no rool
in cruse, no leaks or other squacks. Congratulatons Joe! Family and
several members of EAA Chapter 32 watched the flight.

In a sudden and blinding flash of the obvious
I just figured out the markings on the tail <g>
Pretty airplane. It's nice he got a break in the
weather.

Dave,

Don't feel too badly. A few weeks ago I was standing in the ARC admiring
Joe's beautiful plane. It didn't dawn on me either until Joe said something
like, "Some people might think it's egotistical to put your name on your
plane." I originally thought it might have been a tribute to our armed
services, or Joe's rank.

Yes, I was embarrassed.

Congrats Joe!

Sorry I wasn't able to be there to share in the fun.
