Default 2019 calendar ... too bad

Just got my 2019 Van's calendar. Very disappointing. Not only did I not get a golden ticket, but there isn't a single RV10 picture in the whole calendar. Not one. That makes it a double disappointment.

How could they not include an example of their very best airplane?

So you are saying there are 12 months of RV-9 taildragger pictures like this one?

Looks like there is now a goal for everyone get out and take more good photos of RV Aircraft and start sending them in for the 2020 calendar.

There is only room in the calendar for 12 to 14 of the BEST photos that are sent in.

Well, there are 12 months in each year and there are 13 RV models. Which one should be left out?

Might be cool to do a formation photo with one of each model in the picture. RV1 up front with RV14 in the rear?

Unfortunately, I don't think EAA National would let you do any formation flying inside the museum, which is where the RV1 is currently hanging from the ceiling. Still... could be fun to try!

Your local print shop can make you one with nothing but RV-10s if you want.
