Van’s Aircraft founder Richard VanGrunsven and his brother, Jerry, were both presented with the FAA’s Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award. The award recognizes “individuals who have exhibited exemplary aviation expertise, distinguished professionalism, and steadfast commitment for at least 50 years of piloting experience or 50 or more years combined experience in both piloting and aircraft operations.” The brothers have been flying longer than 50 years, of course, and show no signs of letting up!
