Good-day
Mr. Richard Vangrunsven, the founder/CEO of Vans aircraft, lives on a small private airstrip. For years he has flown his own personal Rv-4, RV-10, or now his Rv-12 from his home strip, to work. (Yes, he flies to work, weather permitting)

Question: Which airstrip is this, and where is it located?

Bonus: FSX Screenie of your Rv-8 at his home strip!

Interesting. I had to look that one up! Hard to find on the sat since its a dirt strip. You would really need to know what to look for to even know it was a landing strip.

Well, I guess I should clarify.
It's in North Plains OR, but it's called "Sunset Air Strip"... (It's on the south side of 26) The other "North Plains" is more or less a glider strip.
