The enthusiasm is alive and well at OSH today! Here are Rich and Cindy Macrafic from Rochester, MN, who are two weeks away from their first flight in the RV-7A they have built together over the last 13 years. Cindy has even earned her Private Pilot’s certificate during the build and is looking forward to flying the 7 herself. They both love being in Minnesota as they are close to Cleaveland Tools, Steinair, and Oshkosh.
