<aside> ❓ **Why no updates for the last couple of months? “**On December 4, 2023, Van’s Aircraft filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code… The purpose of the Chapter 11 filing is to allow Van’s to continue to provide ongoing support for its customers, suppliers, and employees for many years to come… The formal plan of reorganization will be circulated to Van’s unsecured creditors for a vote… After the vote, the court is asked to approve the plan. Once the plan is approved, Van’s will emerge from bankruptcy.” Why bankruptcy? 1. Quick-build kits assembled with “primer” that caused corrosion, 2. Poor quality laser-cut parts (LCPs) cracking when dimpled, 3. Financial mismanagement.
