Shawn Gets Into Trouble

While getting RV-8 transition training in Angleton, TX I had the opportunity to document the acquisition of a sweet little RV-3. Shawn had flown the aircraft in the past and now it was his. Shaky video; decent photos; a good day for all concerned.

Shawn was an experienced RV pilot who had gotten training with Bruce Bohannon in the RV-8 and had been checked out in the RV-3 prior to buying it. Although your advice is wise, it doesn't really apply to the scenario shown in the video. He didn't just hop in and go.
