THE 2008 Oshkosh Photo Diary

[mustangdriver]

Just a few of my over 600 shots.

Very, very nice. Now I, for one, would like to see the other 594. Okay, maybe not really, but you get the idea. I ain't half done looking at Osh photos.

Is anybody out there still up for new postings? Here's a few - I'll quit after these if everyone's had enough.







Cheers;

Chris

So who's ghost tracks are visible at the bottom of this photo?

[mustangdriver]

Just a few more. First is Clair, me and Joe getting ready to leave Pittsburgh for Oshkosh.

I'm guessing it was the Hawker Hunter with the hung up nose gear



Friend of yours?

I'm guessing it's the same red T-33 producing them in the foreground.

Could be, but the T-33's were leading the jet group that day and the Hunter was tail-end-Charlie. He's have just gone through before I snapped this photo.

Anybody? Anybody? Buehler?

Either way, glad the nose gear came down OK - never did see the Hunter on the ramp the rest of the week so I assume it was up on jacks somewhere cycling the gear.

The RedKnight T-33 was making smoke on those passes. The tracks are his.

OK - my mistake. Not sure how I got that wrong, though, because I have several shots in a row of the jet flybys. Chris Rounds' T-33 has smoke in every pass, the Fury and T-2 do not, but the Hunter does. All the shots are numbered sequentially in my un-edited file.



This one's after he did a lap over the lake while cycling the gear back down. Evidently he got 3 greens because he did another pass "dirty".

I'll be more careful in the future.

I think it may be the Red Knights from earlier in the pattern.

Oops. I guess I should read ahead before posting.

My pictures will be delayed a little as my C Drive doesn't have enough space to currently hold my Osh pics. Time to clean house a bit. I also brought home a couple early 80's photo albums and will at some time get more classic Osh pics scanned and posted. Seriously though, it's gonna be a while but it should be worth it.

Thought I would finally get around to posting a picture of Dan K leaving the WIX gathering:

Ha Ha Now that is great man. The beer tent photo of ours is the things that legends are made of already around the hangar here.

Is this the other alcohol inducted incident we don't want to hear about
