Correct... Just open the canopy, roll inverted, and release the seatbelt. No red handle needed....

So, 6PC, when is the delivery?

Monday. It's going to be a bazillion degrees which I think is good. I'll get to learn about high density lethargic climb from the get go with a cfi.

I'm kind of over the shell shock I've been going through a week or so before and after spending the money and I've moved on to giddy anticipation.

....but you'll surely enjoy the taxi with canopy open, taking advantage of that big fan up front!
 
As much as I want to give you a hard time about the lack of a red handle, having to learn how to land now, etc.

What I really want to say is Congratulations! Happy for you, looks like a great plane!

Jim

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Looks like you made it to the end.

They start over at the first expensive annual.

They start over again the day you decide to sell it.

Pins and needles for the last two days watching the ferry pilot trek 1700 miles finally ended.

by the way HUGE shout out to @LDJones for offering to do the Ferry flight.
Timing didn't work out on my side but it was very generous and I greatly appreciate the offer.

At any rate, I got to fly my plane and take @Mrs. SixPapaCharlie up as 1st passenger.

WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Congrats once again Bryan!
We will look forward to a whole new video mini-series.
Are you bringing 'em to OSH (the plane and the family)?

P.S. Isn't this reason enough for a new avatar?

Except I won't be in the country.
 
HAHAHAHA

Nah, taking my family on a cruise.

I will do my best to make 6Y9, Sun n Fun, and Gastons is a done deal.
OSH next year.
 
Great pics.
Congratulations on owning an AA!

Cute kids - do be careful tho, the Al right where they're sitting is quite thin. More than one Grumman owner has dented that area simply by leaning into the cockpit from the ground.

Have fun flying her!
 
Not sure what happened there. Bryan has the new plane owner smile (you can see the tear in his eye) but somehow Eren has an RV grin. Were you guys doing zoom climbs?
 
Oh yeah, still jealous. That is a sweet looking plane.
 
I hope you enjoy your Grumman for as long as I have enjoyed mine, had it for forty years and think it is the nicest flying aircraft ever!
