Awesome! As a former DC-6 driver and military pilot I was awed by the massive project. Top wing is massive. Really impressed by the skill & workmanship of volunteers. Okay if I take it around the pattern? Alfred (AL) Hodges from Oklahoma City, OK, USA, who visited on 3/28/2000 and learned about this site from An Article or Review, said: Just read your history of the Vimy project and couldn't resist an opportunity to say HI to all of the "crew" that did such a fine job of design and construction. I was the Assistant Office Manager in the Oakland, CA. FAA office at the time of your certification project and visited your Sonoma "plant" many times. Del Ott was the airworthiness inspector assigned the project,BUT I feel a little bit connected as well.I still have a small photo at the Oakland airport the day of your radio work and highly TV filmed flight from OAK. What a sight , a VIMY NAVIGATING THE NINITZ FREEWAY THRU DOWNTOWN OAKLAND. (NOT EXACTLY THE FLIGHT ROUTE FOR AN EXPERIMENTAL TO TRAVERSE. I also have copies of letters from the CAA authorizing the CAA G-EAOU (WITH THE FAA OKAY, HA!) and also a letter in response to the Australian CAA (Mr. David Punshon) about their concern that the FAA limitations did NOT state that you needed their permission to fly the NX 71MY in Australia. We assured them taht you did and sent acopy of the Experimental AiRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE. I trust you were authorized to fly in Australia. I wish you continued good flying. - Al Hodges (Del has retired but I am still an ASI and instructing at our Academy in OKC) john kern from redondo beach, CA, USA, who visited on 3/27/2000 and learned about this site from Another Web Site, said: You have a very exciting aircraft.
