The Vans Aircraft engineering team recently provided its spring progress update to the RV-15 build, showing off its redesigned tail, control system, and fuel tanks.
The plane is nearing its final configuration. The design was first introduced at Oshkosh 2022, hoping to bring it to market in mid to late 2023. Followers got some new updates at the 2024 airshow, including a delayed anticipated production date of late 2025. The EAA announced that the FAA-approved updates to the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 Notice, commonly known as the Oshkosh NOTAM, has been released for this year’s 72nd fly-in and convention that runs from July 21-27 at Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH) in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The changes and updates are based on pilot feedback and FAA review of recommendations pertaining to arrival procedures. The folks at London-Corbin Airport's Kolb Aircraft reached out to ANN early recently to let us know that they were all safe and accounted for but that their manufacturing facility was pretty much wiped out. Kolb reported that, "As of right now the death toll in London KY is at 9... None of our staff were injured in the storm. The factory facility was hit
by the tornado and destroyed. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
