What's this?

Nice. I'd heard recruiters flew those, but never got a ride in one.

My only T-34 experience was in the T-34C. Kept thinking I would love to have one of those...lol But that's why I've kept thinking about the RV-8. Aluminum construction, and you can buy "quick build" sections that already have the holes drilled for the rivets. If I built a "kit plane," would most likely be one of those. Love the composite planes, but that requires a whole different skill set.

"The RV-8/8A is designed to be flown from the front seat, although a rear stick is provided and a rear throttle and rudder pedals are optional."

Perfect for teaching your daughter how to fly...the Navy way!
