    Default Farmfox has it's 1 year Anniversary

    Sunday, Easter, was my 1-year anniversary since Farmfox first flew.
    I will say kitfox has totally changed my thoughts about flying. I have more interest in taking a flight now than ever before in my 36 years of being a pilot. It has totally revived my interest in flying.
    Farmfox is showing 164 hours since 4/9/2022..
    I have given 32 people rides in the past year. Many were their first flight. That's about the best feeling a pilot can have.
    I hope the Good Lord allows me to fly many more people and hours in the years to come!

    Keep on building it's all worth it when it's done!

    Man, a year sure goes by fast! I’ve so enjoyed following the experiences of you and all of the “new” guys so much! Thanks for the “ride”.

    One year with that kind of hours. Awesome. That thing is no hangar queen!

    What are you going to build next? We know you've thought about it...

    That's awesome Harlan! I've enjoyed watching all your videos. That beautiful green grass is killing me though, we just got another 3-4" of snow at the house today. 16 days until my kit gets here! Maybe Spring will be here by then.
