I've been a Van's fan ever since I first got some stick time in an RV-4; this year's convention was blessed with a horde of RVs, which made me happy. Here's a few highlights.


There was a 35-ship (!) formation flight of RVs on more than one day; here's a look at one element... it was quite a sight, and not easy to pull off.

Yeah, he was there... he's attended the last several years... flies commercial with a group of Young Explorers(?), so he has yet to bring the Silver Bullet there.
