Van's Homecoming 2011 HD Video

This entry has taken a lot longer to post than I anticipated! The video was shot during the 2011 Van's Aircraft Homecoming celebration in Independence, Oregon. It features a compilation of clips starting with an RV-1 (a Stits Playboy with Van's metal wing that would become the wing for the RV-3), through the RV-12 with the Dynon Skyview panel, and a high speed flyby done by a Nanchang China CJ-6A.



Anyway, I hope you enjoy the show!

Van's Homecoming 2010

They say, "Home is were the heart is." In that case there can be no place nearer and dearer than Van's Homecoming for a RV aircraft builder or pilot. The weather was good as was the turnout, about 70 planes. I only counted 2 RV-10s but others may have shown up later.

The event was held in Independence, Oregon with the help of EAA chapter 292. Time and again I over heard attendees commenting on how great the breakfast was on Saturday. Great job guys and gals!

Van extolling the virtues of the RV-12. I did ask him which plane he flew the most the RV-10 or 12? He said, "First is the sailplane, then the 12, next 10 and last was the RV-4. To date he has about 150 hour on the 12.

So if you couldn't attend not to fret! Here is a compilation of video I shot on Saturday.
