Air-to-Air Adam A500

I got invited on this very special photo shoot by Erik Johnston. When Erik invites you on a shoot like this, you jump in your plane and head that way! I can't wait to see his video and photos from out flight.

Nice! I assume that’s the one @SixPapaCharlie flew?

 

[pilotshashi]

Yep!

Thank you. It's one awesome plane.

Ok, I don't usually share photos I'm not happy with... but here is a photo that was almost the best one of the day... it was a quick shot and I wasn't ready for it! Boo.

 

[Steamflyer]

There's one flying?! It was such a promising design...

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

Y'all call me when he does the Starship!

Even your bad ones are good. . As always, thanks for sharing.

Thanks. I've had so many photos over the years where I just want it to be a little better... those almost a great photos!

Erik Johnston released his walk-around video and it includes air-to-air video he took when I took the photos I shared. Pretty cool stuff. Check it out here.

I'm kind of curious. This airplane seems to have become viral these days, with multiple aviation influencers suddenly having access to it. Is it on the market or something else happening with Adam Aircraft?

No, nothing that I know of. Erik Johnston invited me to join his shoot. Erik is friends with Bryan as well. Not sure of anyone else involved. Just us drooling a cool airplane!

Ah I see, the cool kids club.

Erik and I live about 5 miles apart so if one of us does something cool, we try to share.
I take him on powered trike, and glider adventures, and he gets me access to planes that are exceptionally rare.

I don't like to be seen in public with him, but he's hard to avoid sometimes.

Those are very good photos but I don't like the look of that plane type sorry

He didn’t build it.

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

Taking a closer look, it looks like the leading portion of the booms where the gear folds up would create a lot of drag.
Surprised there isn't a door that closes over it.

 

[RyanShort1]

Did y’all break it? ‘Cause it’s back at my mechanic’s place again. Lulz.

 

[Tarheelpilot]

That thing needs a pair of PT6-34s.
