Being able to see you guys live in person was truly one of the highlights of my week.
There is very little time for any of us at Van's to actually enjoy the event, but I think it says a lot that when the day was done, tent was closed up, and everyone ready to pile into the cars we couldn't leave yet...

Everyone of us was standing there looking skyward, because Team RV was a closing act of the show. You guys are a class act, and you make it look so easy (we know it is not... that is why we can't help but watch).

Thanks again, and I know we will be seeing more of you guys at OSH in the future (unless the people that make the airshow decisions don't know a top notch act if it hits them in the face!).
What Scott said.... Ditto...

Team RV puts a fresh new face on large airshow performances. Rather than the constant bombardment of T-6's or Edge 540's, we can enjoy the performance in the relative quietness of the RV's. Team RV's opening pass certainly gets the crowds attention with the inbound crossing pattern. From there the performance stays in front of the crowd and is constantly changing.

Scott's right. The Van's guys hang after the booth closes around to watch this class act...

Was really nice to see an act that relied on choreography and visual effect to produce an entertaining show. MUCH preferred over the screaming announcer narrating for someone flying a 400+ hp, 1000-lb unbreakable plane doing 10 g flip-flop acro.

Good job!
