Ferrying an RV-12 From Oregon to Florida

Havens Aero was honored to get the call from Brian, a former ferry client, to deliver this new to him RV-12 to Florida. While his 182 turned into a flip rather than training tool, Brian had just completed his sport pilot rating and was excited to get his hands on an airplane for himself. This RV-12 was built by Dan (near Portland) with care and precision then painted with an incredible custom out-of-this-world livery. Come along for the three day journey massaged and pushed by weather in this blue sky flyer.

After spending its recent years parked in Central Ohio, it was time for this L-16B to venture west to be enjoyed by its new caretaker near Lubbock, Texas! Jay was wonderful to work with, and will be keeping the airplane in great company at a small local airport with big things happening. From light jet traffic to yearly glider training for the Air Force Academy, this legacy Army livery should turn some heads!
