The deal is done! The plane's officially ours. Looking forward to getting back into the air. Here are a few shots of the acceptance flight...
Getting to know the instruments and avionics... it's not a long list.
Paint job was a custom design by the previous owner - a Marine, photographer, and well known member of the local flying community here.
It flies!
Contact... Love that loping sound of the 6 cylinder Continental C-145
Not exactly a greaser but you can't tell from this distance!

Congratulations guys! What a great looking plane and the engine sounds like it means business. I'm showing the boys. Joshua keeps saying "Me fly tim". He's ready...

Great quote from the landing video: "Oh, it looks like he's done this before..." right after touchdown. I couldn't see it, but that sounded like a good endorsement.
LOVED the pictures - especially the one from the back of the bird. Great engine sounds... Nice photo/video work, Caroline! Showed the videos to Anna and Savannah (she couldn't believe it was you flying it). Can't imagine a better plane for you to have or a better new owner for the previous owner to pass his pride and joy on to. So happy for you guys!!!!
