That's awesome Les! I remember you telling me you were going to do that trip when I came down to have a look at your Eagles in Oakdale. You made it----Great!
I just started putting my ribs together out here in Guam a couple months ago. It's been fun so far.

Well done Les!  No limits now for the builders.

Outstanding, Les!  That should answer questions from prospective builders in higher altitude areas.

Well Les, you have covered quite a few bases with this one.

First of all, a great video shot in an exotic locale. I made the same flight in my RV-6 several years ago and enjoyed watching your take on this magnificent scenery.

So much for the standard line that Legal Eagles won't fly higher than sea-level.

But most of all, congratulations on sticking with your dream until you realized it. Your sense of accomplishment came through loud and clear in your closing comments. You will never again look at that little red plane without recalling where it has flown.

Well done!
