  • This is my journey to the 2023 Zenith Aircraft Homecoming in Mexico, MO. I flew the Blue Angels Cruzer there with a 20 kt headwind there, and a 10 kt headwind back, but it was a fun flight.
    The best part of the homecoming is the the people. If you haven't been to a Zenith homecoming event yet, please try to attend next year!

    Didn't know that you like " Klezmer" music. Cool video as always.

    Mark was great to meet you and your plane looks even better in person! Was a really good turnout and definitely recommend going. You’ll learn a lot from the workshops, vendors and especially other builders.

    Nice video! I think you would have won the cleco competition if you hadn't stopped to deburr and prime the holes first! Lol!!

    Absolute Pure Americana. Love this and love the green Jeep and Zenith.

      The "Gecko Green" Jeep belongs to Sebastien, the CEO of Zenith and the matching 750 STOL is mine, N750A. Each year we display them together as not only are the colors an exact match, the company's nickname for the STOL is the "Sky Jeep!" 11+ years and 800 hrs and still grinning!

    Great to see you again Mark! And yes, that was me wiping my wing while it was still raining.... Finished getting all the water spots off my plane today. But attending this event was well worth it! To anyone interested in building a Zenith, you really need to attend!

    Great video! Thanks for posting.
    This was my first visit to the Zenith Factory, and it was great. Lots of great airplanes, discussions, and information. It's a little sad that they had to cancel the STOL flying due to the weather.
    Anyhow, there was a bluish plane, and I was particularly interested in the paint job and the polished landing gear. Amazing paint job, which in reality, looks even more impressive.

    I grew up and learned to fly at KAAA, and was a member of the Heritage in Flight Museum (HIF) there for quite a few years. Glad you enjoyed it!

    The dude on the left with the long white beard looks like he might be an aged version of Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame or one of the Smith Brothers (from the cough drops package).

    Mark, I’m building a Super Duty… thanks so much for your videos. You mention in one of the vids that your horizontal stabilizer fairings have been scanned in and will be available in the future. Are these the ones currently available or will they be a future improvement? Also are you going to do a fairing on the wing fuselage connection area? If so will this be available in the future? Thx again!

    Im torn between a high wing or low...I love your cruiser. Would be my pick i think..im kinda after a good useful load. My family and friends are 250 and 260 range. Im 160lbs...so maybe super duty is what im after...question for you..are stats I read online accurate?..what is useful load on your cruiser?..same as I read ..do you have a preference low wing or high wing?...thanks...

    Mark, do you pack a small ladder to dip your tanks in the field? I have a ‘59 172 with no steps so travel with a 3ft ladder.
