Bobs First Flight
Monday, Mar 23, 2009

On Wednesday, March 18, 2009, at 10:00 a.m., Bob Rogers Mustang II took to the air for the first time. He has been working this experimental aircraft for almost 18 years. His Mustang II is power by a turbocharged Mazda rotary 13B engine.

You couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day for a first flight. Cool temperatures, blue skies and a light wind. Bob was surrounded by a throng of good friends as he pulled his aircraft out of his hangar, powered up and taxied out.

The airport was busy that day with an unusually large number of aircraft in the patttern. Bob had to hold in the taxi area for over 15 minutes, waiting for the "cleared for takeoff" transmission from the tower.

Finally he got clearance and took to the skies with a grin from ear to ear. His good friend, Andy Cown, flew his Cirrus SR22-G2 as the chase plane with Bob's wife Terri Ann on board, ready to take pictures.

All went extremely well. Bob flew his new bird well above the airport traffic pattern, checking everything out, stalls and all.

Congratulations to Bob on a first flight well done!
