Making the Decision - Fly-In Schedule

We invite you to stop by our displays at any of the major fly-in/airshows in the United States. Although many builders begin their RV projects without ever meeting us, and quite a few without ever flying in an RV, this gives you a chance to meet the staff of Van's Aircraft and ask any questions you might have face-to-face. Our crew attends all the major events including Oshkosh, Sun 'n Fun, and Arlington. Demo rides are often available, but the hustle and crowding of the large shows means that there are no guarantees. Almost any show includes RVs.

If you are unable to see us in person, you are invited to virtually visit our Oshkosh booth by visiting the Van's@Oshkosh page in the World of RVs section. You can also virtually view our annual homecoming fly-in, held in Aurora, Oregon. This page is also located in the World of RVs section.

Below is a list of events which company personnel and/or demonstrator aircraft are tentatively scheduled to attend. Please keep in mind that last minute changes could occur. Appearances might also be added shortly before scheduled dates. 

Other RV fly-Ins are posted on our "news and releases" page.
