N297DW -- U.S. Air Force Commemorative Special Edition [flight tested in 2001]









Below are pictures of the first RV-8 that I built and completed in 2000. I received an Outstanding Workmanship Award for the kitbuilt class at the 2001 EAA Oshkosh Air Venture. The airplane commemorates all who have served in the Army Air Corp and U.S. Air Force. The paint scheme is stylistic in nature and not specific to a particular airplane or unit. Today this airplane is owned by a former naval aviator and is based in Maine. See here for the official results.
