Bob Rogers Mustang II First Flight
On Wednesday, March 18, 2009, at approximately 10:00 a.m., my Mustang II took to the air for the first time. After almost 18 years of building (when time permitted), the first flight was exhilarating and deeply satisfying. The turbocharged Mazda rotary 13B engine ran well and all temperatures stayed in the green. It produced more power than I needed. The airplane is a joy to fly and made all the effort to build it worthwhile. I look forward to many adventures in the air after the initial 40 hour test period is flown off. See you in the skies!

2009 Parade of Planes, Addison, Texas
This was a great event! Not even a 300 foot ceiling put a damper on this aircraft sales expo. There was a nice turnout, nice folks and good food to boot. We wandered around and "ooohed" and "ahhhed" over the delicious menu of aircraft before us. I ran into an old friend there who had just finished his instrument rating and was seriously checking out these birds as his aerial chariot to the skies. He wants to see his son play football at all those distant locations where he'll be playing, and what better way to get there than to have your on personal airline!

2008 Texas RV Fly-in
What a fly-in! These RV builders proudly displayed the results of their hard work in the static of this very nice airport. Then we all sat down and had the best brisket and "tator" salad we've ever eaten! We can't wait until next year!
