I was at the show for two days. The ONLY act that caught and held my attention was that of Team RV. Formation flights are cool, but when you add graceful aerobatics to the mix it really ramps it up. Good work guys, it was awesome.

I've seen videos of aerobatics before, but never with so many aircraft, and viewed from the pilot's perspective. It really adds another dimension, and I can only admire the skill and discipline it takes to fly formation aerobatics.

Default Team RV

I watched the first performance on Tuesday and to me this is what Sun n Fun should be all about. I really enjoyed the graceful, gentle, smooth process of the team. It was great. I, like others, am tired of the heavy metal music that goes along with all of the rough aerobatics done by the non-RV types. The music is much too loud. I guess I'm getting old. I thoroughly enjoyed Team RV though. I think Sun n Fun management should pay attention to what is said here. The crowd was half the size of that in past years. Some of it could be the economy and some could be because of pilots like me that have seen too many non-experimentals ringing it out to music that is just not pleasing to the ear. I also enjoyed John Morr and the graceful aerobatics of the Aeroshell team. But what do I know................

I'm very proud of Team RV.

Hey Steve,
Where are my royalties?!! Van isn't the only one in the video Thanks so much for the encouragement on the fuel tanks. Working on them this evening and after over a year layoff I am officially back building again. There was a recent thread titled do you ever get overwhelmed. I think many of us do but with the encouragement of people like you and my good buddy Bruce Sacks and Mike Andorfer and others on this forum, it makes it easier to get beyond being overwhelmed.

I have a 2 gig video file that includes 13.5 minutes of the Team RV show that I cannot upload to Picasa. If anyone has a way I can post that video it is a great video of almost the entire Team RV performance. The video was shot standing next to Van during the show so there are several comments from him about the performance. If anyone has ideas on getting this video uploaded please let me know.

Motivated me into a full 10 hour RV8 work session!

Thank you!

Keep at it. Before you know what happened you will find there will be nothing left to do but go fly.

Ron, when I try to access your video it states that you have removed it. Any reason for that.

Default Very COOL!!!

With out a doubt that is the best airshow performance of RV's I have ever seen, I bought my first tail kit in 1985 and have been watching them before that. The video is excellent, thank you Steve and to all of the pilots that worked their tail off to get that level of performance. Really wish I could down load it. I missed Smokey's it is already taken down.:-(

Just wonderful.
