Van's Tribute, AirVenture 2012...initial preparations

Post by cjensen »

It's only 264 days away, and planning has already begun for the 2012 show. I have been asked to be the point man at EAA for most of the RV activities for next summer, and I'm inviting you all to help me out along the way.

The Tribute to Dick VanGrunsven will kickoff on Monday, July 23rd, and the display we have in mind would include the best examples of each type, as well as...

The first ones...

The rare ones...

The special ones...

The record breaker's...


EAA owns the prototype RV-3 and the prototype RV-4...we all know about the plans for the RV-1. What about the others? I know a few of them are gone, but does someone know the fate of each prototype?

I have a good lead on a very nice Stits Playboy that will be a part of the display.

We are talking with Team RV and Falcon Flight.

A panel discussion at Theater in the Woods is in the works.

I am going to work on awards for various categories.

I don't want to give it all away just yet, so let me hear your ideas, stories, special RV interests!
