image0 1An RV Builder by the name of Charlie Derk posted this opioid online, and when I looked at it, I realized that it looked a lot like a bunch of fighters escorting “Doc” through the “Battle of Oshkosh.” I mean, how many RV pilots don’t secretly think of their aircraft as their own personal fighter? Be honest now…

Of course, the F-16 would add a bit of punch to the squadron, no doubt!
