Paul & Victoria Rosales' RV-6A Travel Stories

Paul & Victoria Rosales' RV-6A Travel Stories

Since my first flight in our custom-built RV-6A on July 4, 2000, we've flown our plane to 49 States in America, Bahamas, Canada, Mexico, Turks & Caicos and the Cayman Islands. In 2005, we took off out of Key West with 5 other RVs, flying southbound over Cuba to Little Cayman (~330nm) where we spent a week Diving in 'Paradise'. We had an AWESOME time on the islands with GREAT friends. All these trips and (making) new friends were made possible because we built (from 1995 to 2000) an RV aircraft! In 2007, after 6.5 years (and 2501 hours) of flying, our engine was overhauled by Exodus Air Service to factory-new specs using ECI TiTAN cylinders. The plane was 'down' for 2 months, and I had the plane back in the air within 2 weeks of receiving our new engine. For 2011, Our big trip was to the island of Great Exuma in The Bahamas with 16 aircraft: The most we've ever on a trip with us! I'm already planning the next trip for 2013 to the British Virgin Islands and down the Antilles to Barbados ;-) As of January 1st, 2012, the hour-meter on our plane, which we fly out of our home on the Rosamond Skypark, is showing 3,424 hours. I've written these stories to keep the homebuilders motivated and also inspire the fliers. We hope you enjoy these stories as much as we enjoyed flying them! Paul & Victoria
