Vans Expanding in France

We were returning home from a visit to St Emilion in southern France, when we spotted what must be an expansion of Vans business interests toward horse trailers. In addition to a several interesting clothing stores in the United States, Vans has teamed with Jean-Luc Fautras to create the Vans Fautras line of trailers.

Terry:
I just googled the St. Emilion Daily News. If you can get Sunday's edition, there's a help wanted ad from Van's Trailers for a test engineer. May be something to consider as you move toward retirement in your current job. Looks like their aerodynamics could use some work.

Who would have thunk it!

Mel! Can you do the DAR inspections on horse trailers?

What we are looking at is the horizonal stabilizer cap! Van is coming out with a kit built passenger plane.

I noticed that he has avoided the whole "Nosewheel/Tailwheel Debate" by going with a quad arrangement. Terry - did you count the wheels on the 380 lately? Perhaps a truck went missing at OSH last year!
