AOPA says the 15 will be at Oshkosh this year:
https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/...rates-50-years
“Van’s Aircraft will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022 with the public debut of its first high-wing design—the RV–15”
.

RV15 at OSH22
That's great news about OSH22. Hopefully Vans provides some pics before then.

The FAA aircraft Registry will most likely list the RV-15 aircraft shortly after it takes flight. The Registry does get updated but like everything else these days, it may not be on time. Vans Aircraft already has a few reserved N numbers that they can use or they could surprise us with a number that they do not already have control of.

My bet is 815LT. I've been watching it for a while. They reserved it last year a month or two after Osh and it's the only number they have with "15" in it that isn't already assigned to an airplane. I thought about setting AWS Transcribe to listen to liveatc and alert for anything like that number, but it'd be so far out of the free tier I decided I should just enjoy the suspense and eventual surprise

Regardless of when it happens and where, we're excited for it!
We will of course be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the company, and Monday will be the big day for that, so we hope you'll be there at the beginning of the week!
