Brief Description: Visit at Van's Aircraft and a spontaneous order
|
|
Sometime in May 2015, I was attending the NBAA Annual Maintenance Manager Seminar. This year, the venue was in Portland, Oregon. Well, the seminar was great, but my real motivation to travel to Oregon was for sure to visit Van's Aircraft....
At the time of my visit, I didn't have the room to build a RV, neither did I have the time (I was a busy business traveller...). Nevertheless, I made up my mind that this opportunity to visit Van's would be the perfect time to place an order for my fuselage kit....My justification for this large purchase was the fact that the canadian dollar was loosing a lot a value against the US dollar, and I was afraid this would meant spending enormous amount of $CAD to buy the kit at a later time. My plan was to buy the kit, and store it until I would have the room and the time to build it. Later, the future prove me right, the $CAD fell from 0,85$ USD to 0,70$ USD in less than 6 months....
