"Gator"


This is "Gator," Mike Elliott's recently completed RV-8A, sporting it's new University of Florida inspired, P-51 style paint scheme.  You might recall, N800ME had it's first bare-metal flight on December 12, 2012.


Paint was applied in March.  The good folks at GLO Custom Aircraft, Inc., in Dallas, Texas did the work.  It looks fantastic!

Mike and Gator have been vacationing in Florida---giving rides to friends and family, and attending Sun-N-Fun.  Mike said:  "The plane has been a big hit and the colors look great with the P-51 paint scheme."  Indeed it does!


Congratulations Mike!

    Very cool paint scheme. I recognize those hangars in the background as my 170 is based a couple doors down. Small world! GLO also did some paint work on my 170. Top notch people and paint work.
