Compared to many air force and navy displays such as the blue angles, our RAAF Roulettes etc, Team RV do a better job, not only as a Civvy team but in RV aircraft......they built themselves.

In my opinion, across the globe .......THE CLASS ACT.......BAR NONE

Default Yep

....and as I've said before, they are fast becoming THE draw at airshows.

After 50 years of watching lomcevaks and such, they're what's new!

Best,

Yup. We were watching from the balcony at the HAI center, and the guy standing next to us commented on how well-coordinated the show was.

I was awesome! Perfect way to showcase these great machines and the 40th anniversary of the factory.

Mark,

Know what you mean. I'm pinching myself to make sure it wasn't a dream. As soon as I get home and catch my breath I'll get to work on that cockpit video. We got lots of it. In the meantime go to our Team RV Facebook page.
