Dad's RV-7 Experimental Aircraft
My father, Jack Bilak, built this RV-7 experimental aircraft in his garage and at the Del Norte Airport over the course of six and a half years. It first flew last summer and he recently had it jazzed up with this stunning paint job. It is very fast as it cruises at 200 mph, with a top speed of 230 mph. It has acrobatic capabilities and has done spins, loops, and rolls - oh my!

Ever since Dad was a small child in Pennsylvania, he has loved airplanes. After high school, he joined the Air Force and served as a flight medic in Vietnam. But it wasn't until he retired as a captain from the Air Force that he received his private pilots license.





Dad would like to thank all of his friends for their moral support and helping hands!!!

Christmas on the Farm
We loaded up the family and went to Colorado for the holidays. We did a schizo trip of going back and forth between Mom's farm and Scott's brother's house. But we got to see good friends as well as family and it was a wonderful Christmas. Here are some random aimless pictures in no particular order....
