Van on the Airplane Geeks podcast

[JDBoston]

Was a very good show I thought, and confirmed what many others most likely knew but I had not heard. The market is shrinking and business is not as good as it once was. Hopefully Van's conservative approach to growth keeps the company in business for years to come. Van's theory was some market saturation which does make sense to me.

Just finished listening. Van really is a wonderful ambassador for experimental aviation.

Skip ahead about 30 minutes to hear the interview itself, which lasts another 30 minutes or so.

I'd have to agree. It was a really objective conversation-not only about Van's Aircraft, but all experimentals. I think he all but said he thought the Subsonex was neat, even though it might not be a very economically logical business adventure!
