A rare break in Oregon weather gave the RV-15 a perfect window to fly with its new wing. Chief Engineer Rian Johnson returned all smiles after a smooth and successful test flight. Team member Marc Cook captured the moment—check out the video in this post. More flight footage and updates coming as we get closer to EAA AirVenture, now less than 50 days away. #RV15 #FlyVans #EAAAirVenture2025 #OSH25 #BackcountryFlying #AviationCommunity #TestFlight

Beautiful day in Oregon = perfect flying weather! ☀️ We took the opportunity to get a few team members up in an RV-10 for a flight today. It’s one of the best ways to see and experience the product we build every day. #VansAircraft #FlyVans #RV10

December 17, 1903: A day forever etched in the hearts of aviation enthusiasts around the world. Though this historic first powered flight in a heavier-than-air aircraft lasted only 12 seconds and covered 120 feet in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, it opened the door to a world of possibilities in the realm of flight. 121 years later, we honor Orville and Wilbur Wright’s groundbreaking innovation, unwavering courage, and their dream that reshaped our world. Happy Wright Brothers Day to all! #WrightBrothersDay #Aviationhistory #Aviation #AviationLovers
