For those that are not familiar with the Van's aircraft line, the Vans RV-10 is one of a few experimental planes that can hold 4 people and still fly longer than the average bladder can hold. Richard (Van) VanGrunsven started building/designing planes in the early 1970's and has built a company that is now in a 60,000 square foot facility near the small town of Aurora, Oregon.
