+1 on that!
I for one, thank you Doug for your efforts to bring us all together, and in some cases, keep us together.

I have too many toys and with everyone there is a forum, I have sent time on too many of them but always get tired of the political BS.
Doug has done a great job of keeping the topics on things worth wild to read and discuss.
This is the one forum I will never get tired of.

A big thanks to you Doug from me also.
I'll bet Van's is thanking you as well (or at least should be) cause I for one probably would not have taken on this project w/o this site as my pacifier. 
Good job, good day, and may you have many more!!
Tom

Congratulations
Thanks a million Doug. My build is taking forever and probably wouldn't ever be done without this site, which I visit almost daily. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!

In fact Doug got this started in late 1998 when he organized a few interested builders to a meeting at Hicks airfield TX to visit Bob Averys tool company as well as George Orndorff's RV Build Centre where a few of us were banging away building our RV6As and RV4. About mid 1999 a second visit to Hicks was organized with even more interested builders attended and a few of us had our RVs flying and were able to do some passenger flights. At that time there were very few flying RVs even in Texas. Some time after that Doug started this VAF web site when he was working as an IT engineer and a few of us chipped in a few dollars to help get it off the ground.
How time flys!
Happy Christmas to all.

Thanks!
Thanks for providing a place for me to waste away some well spent time, if that makes any sense! Your website has and continues to provide me with valuable information for building and operating my RV. Hope to be reading your website for another 5000 days!
