My name is Matt Van Bergen and I have many passions in life. Aviation is just one of them and with that the purpose of this blog is to share my love for aviation including flight experiences, documenting the build of hopefully more than one airplane (Christen Eagle II is in the batter’s box right now). I fly an American Champion Super Decathon as much as I can. I just can’t get enough of that airplane. I also fly a Cessna 182 which is much less exciting but a nice midwest cross country machine as well as IFR training airplane (I’m embarking on my IFR this year as well).
