The Vans crew worked late into the night several days to meet the schedule. All those guys in the dark blue shirts deserve special recognition.

It was an amazing experience.
Special thanks to the the entire team from Van's that never failed to put out 110%, even when we thought we had nothing left.

On Monday, I saw Van himself deburring wing ribs. The last time I looked on Friday before I left the show, they hadn't started the fiberglass work on the canopy, so I feared they wouldn't finish on time. Glad I was wrong. |

What a great group of guys!
I had the privilege of working with the Van?s team all week. Scott, Ed, Tony, Ryan, and Davis never slowed down and amazingly kept their good dispositions despite being peppered with constant questions from the volunteers, the press, and the visitors. It was heartening to see Van and Mitch working elbow to elbow with us whenever they could break away from other obligations.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I was lucky to be a part of. Thanks to Scott and the whole team for including me in this epic event.

It was great to make my tiny contribution to this project. I concur on the infinite patience of the Van's crew, especially since they must have been tired. (cause we all know they were burning the midnight oil too)
Spending my Friday morning in the tent also afforded me the opportunity to meet Van himself, which was a nice touch.

I witnessed that. Could not believe the patients that all the core crew displayed, especially Scott BTW, in staying focused on the mission while being continually distracted. Try building a quality airplane with a microphone being shoved in your face every 20 minutes asking you questions about what you were doing. Was an incredible accomplishment. |
