You have advertisers!  Why should I give you a penny?
Advertisers pay to be in it and folks pay to read it, just like a magazine.  The web space, server leases, bandwidth, backups, patching and monitor fees aren't free by any means and the donations act primarily as our family medical outlay fund (self employed), children's college savings and retirement nest egg.

The Big Lebowski: Are you employed, sir?
The Dude: Employed?
The Big Lebowski: You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday?
The Dude: Is this a... what day is this?

  This site part of your routine?  How's two bucks a month sound?

Howdy!

On April 4th, 2007 VansAirForce.net became my full time job.  I've staked my family's financial future on it.  Retirement and college savings, insurance, house payments, medical bills....the whole smash.  If you come to the site on a regular basis and find value in what I'm trying to do, please consider sending in $25 per year.  Those who should never donate are listed at right.

One soda a month.  At just a tad over $2 per month, this amount will just buy (1) XL soda at McDonald's.  I'm hoping to get the point across that I don't want you to send a lot of your money.  We don't do pledge drives - we use the honor system here, because I'm one of those guys that thinks a person's word (or their handshake) is more binding than any written contract.

Those that donate yearly are in the running for a prize that I pick every month (well, actually I pick 'em in spurts...but I do it 12 times a year for sure).

Thanks for reading,
Doug Reeves (and Susie, Audrey, Tate, Moondog and Flash)

The World's Most Specialized Barter Offer 
 
Never send in another penny and enjoy a lifetime chance of winning a monthly prize.

When I'm not obsessing over RV airplanes, I like playing guitar and making the cats howl on the fence with my singing.

Been in a few bands over the decades and have spent my fair share of time on a stage trying to remember chord changes to classic rock songs.  But like almost everyone, I can't justify the expense to buy guitars...especially when I have one already.

Old Guitar:
I'll trade anyone a guilt-free lifetime of looking at the site for the Gibson/Fender guitar you don't play anymore.  Any condition.  I'll pay for the shipping and promise to give it the care it deserves for the rest of my life.  I'll never sell it, and if I just get tired of looking at it I'll send it back to you (lifetime donation status stays with you, though).
