VAF #1 Doug "Krash" Reeves honored at Airventure 2009!!!
So I had a few minutes at work to catch up on the news of the day when I saw this link; VansAirForce.net creator honored
Krash just received the Bax Seat Trophy award (at the Van's Banquet) in the last hour by my watch...
I'm guessing that at least 25% of the previous Bax Seat Trophy Award winners are RVers 
Very Cool Krash, MANY CONGRATS to you!!!!! You deserved this!!!!  Rosie
PS: EAA needs to update names on the Bax Seat Trophy Awards page...

Congratulations Doug!
And to think, I'll be able to tell people not just that I knew him back in the day, but also that he bought me a cheeseburger!

The Bax Seat Award is indeed a well-deserved feather in Doug's cap. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of his site is not the huge repository of info, but the unusually civil environment he has established and maintained.
No doubt Doug is going to be a little embarrassed by the erroneous number of members given in the EAA press release. The article stated "120,300 registered users, plus 40,000 users who aren’t registered". A look at the front page of the forum clearly states 10,384 members. That is still a very respectable number of RV fanatics, however. |

Good job, Doug!
Congratulations, Doug. Now you have definitely made the BIG TIME!
Seriously, this is a well-deserved honor, and we are all proud of you. I just wish I could have made it to Airventure this year.
Hope the award doesn't mess up your CG for the trip home!
