Dama TJ mentioned her husband checking out Vans Air Force website
They are an organization of guys and gals building kit airplanes purchased from Vans Aircraft.
All aluminum and old school in construction technique, there are over 6,000 of them flying and many many more under some stage of construction. If you add up all homebuilt planes ranging from scratch built, plans built, or kit built excluding the RV's supplied by Vans the total comes nowhere near 6,000 even when including the Wright Flier.
Hanging out at EAA Airventure Oshkosh and camping on the field for over a week every July for 24 years now, I've enjoyed brats & brew and & corn roasts with dozens of vansairforce.com guys.
The first Saturday morning in August this year will be the date for the Runway 5K in Oshkosh. Free admission to the aviation event with runner registration.
TJ's husband Scott stopped by our tent/event vehicle compound last year for a brat,
he was happy.......he had guessed me to be some type of Vegan or something prior to that!
You coming in from Iowa last week of July?
