[[Image:2018-06-02_MichiganTour-Air-to-Air-06.jpg\|thumb\|900px\|N44VF-Summer of 2018 over Michigan]]We sold our beloved kit-built airplane "Victor Fox", N44VF in the summer of 2017 to some of our friends.<br/>

	For the uninitiated, we bought a kit and built an airplane in our home, and have a complete [https://www.velocityxl.com site] documenting that process. The highlights for the less interested are below, it's a 4 seat, 200MPH airplane featuring a 300HP engine and can fly about 5 hours, or about 1,000nm between refueling. Here are some of our better pictures out with the airplane.

			The overview of our history is this. While in college at the University of Cincinnati College of Engineering a good friend (John Collier) showed me a copy of Kitplanes and I was in love. I thought "you'd have to be crazy to build your own airplane", but I was in love with sleep shape. Incidentally I'd been in the USAF ROTC program until I developed minor asthma and was released. I'm not sure now what edition of the magazine it was, but maybe the July 1986 "Maximum Velocity" (page 46), the April 1989 cover of Neil Hunter's Velocity, the March 1990 "Getting a Leg Up", or the more likely Novemeber 1991 "Flying the Velocity" right before I graduated in 1992. But the idea stuck, but I didn't fly with the air force and set it aside until I started dating Elizabeth in late 2000. We talked about getting our private pilot's licenses, and I shared my hair-brained infatuation with the Velocity, and we attended [https://www.eaa.org/en/airventure Airventure] that summer and started taking flight lessons just before attending the airshow - where we put down a deposit on the kit. Just afterwards our training was interupted by the September 11th attacks of that year. But, by the spring of 2002 we'd gotten the kit and attended the factory head-start program, and by July 2002 the kit was at our house in Mason, OH.<br/>

			Here are some of our better pictures out with the airplane.
