My wife and I took a short vacation to Oregon. After landing at PDX, we drove out to Astoria and stayed the night at the Cannery Pier Hotel. Should have stayed longer. Then we drove down to McMinnville. We visited Van's Aircraft in Aurora, OR. Did a factory tour and a Demo Flight in an RV-14 with Sterling. I started out wanting an RV-14 but decision was finally the RV-10. Wife really wanted 4 seats, more shade and the easier entry with the solid top and clamshell doors. She wasn't a fan of the tip-up bubble canopy and stepping on the seat to get in and out of the cockpit. After the Demo flight we stopped by Wine Country in the Willamette Valley, and took advantage of the wonderful early fall weather. Our last day was a tour of the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum including a tour of the Spruce Goose. Highly recommended trip for anyone contemplating a Van's Aircraft build.
