A dream come true...
Working in concert, Friends of the RV-1, EAA, and the RV community have successfully created a new page in homebuilt aviation history - and done so in a most spectacular manner. The historic RV-1 is now preserved in the EAA museum for future generations, hundreds of dedicated volunteers and supporters were directly engaged in "restoring" the aircraft to airworthy condition, a special team of pilots and escorts barnstormed the RV-1 across the USA and into Canada, and the RV-1's creator, Richard VanGrunsven, has been properly recognized for his significant contributions to the homebuilt movement. A sincere and heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone. Our shared dream is now a reality!
Job well done!
