VAN’S RV-3
The RV-3 homebuilt was designed by Dick VanGrunsven as a “total performance airplane” – to do as many things as possible as well as possible. Its simple construction and the attention to aerodynamic detail produced an aircraft capable of high cruise speeds, low landing speeds, short field capability and aerobatic performance. A large cockpit with good visibility and stable handling characteristics make it a favorite among pilots. The Museum’s prototype RV-3, has been followed by the RV-4, RV-6, RV-7, RV-8, and RV-9 with several thousands of all models built. Learn more in the
Van’s RV-3 prototype virtual exhibit.

Planes, Manes and Automobiles July 5, 2008

This exciting annual event combines two classic examples of American engineering. It pairs P-51 Mustang Warbirds from WWII with a wide selection of Ford Mustang cars.

The event takes place on the grounds of the world-famous EAA AirVenture Museum, which displays a collection of over 140 immaculate aircraft, including the world’s oldest surviving P-51 Mustang. Throughout the day rides will be available in a variety of vintage airplanes from the Museum’s acclaimed Pioneer Airport facility.

Outstanding cars will receive trophies and, on a space-available basis, all cars have the chance to 'pony up' to a P-51 for a picture. Event registration is $20, which includes Museum admission for all vehicle occupants. If you would like to come and see the show, spectator admission is included in regular Museum admission.

“I Learned about Flying from That”- by: Barry Ross

For the past 25 years Barry has illustrated Flying magazine’s monthly feature “I Learned About Flying From That”. These accounts of pilot’s sometimes hair-raising, sometimes funny and always educational experiences are the basis for the paintings that are featured here. He has tried to evoke both the risk and thrill of flight, capture the moment when things have gone awry, and yet give the viewer a hopeful feeling that the crisis will be satisfactorily resolved.
