Default Team RV (and AirVenture) on CNN.com

Goofing off at work before starting the day, I came across Team RV on CNN.com today, very cool! Click through the pictures (and yes.... I see that it's not Kahuna leading...) Rosie

Hey Rosie, good eye. That's Stripes leading Bravo/Charlie flights.

Hope to see everyone in OSH. You keep those west coast guys in line

And for a while this morning, the photo was on the "top level" Home Page of CNN. But alas, it was short lived.

Just goes to show how fast you can go from "hero" to "zero"! :-)

Kahuna is typically "upside down" or the photo ship in some of our better photos.

Is all of this true? .....

"The Team RV aerobatic squadron is slated to perform at this July's Oshkosh airshow. Team RV's homebuilt aircraft -- designed by Richard VanGrunsven perform at speeds over 200 mph while pulling g-forces up to 6 times normal gravity."

No. I'm afraid they left some marketing on the table. Its incorrect. We are much faster and usually do not return with more than 5.5 on the meter
