Wheels & Wings, Osceola, WI

[dj51d]

The Osceola fly in didn't attract nearly as many vintage aircraft as Forest Lake's little fly in, but there were a few to shoot. There was a Navion(possibly N4462K) at the airport when I first arrived, but I didn't get a good look at it as I jumped on a bus over to Motorbooks/Zenith Books to take advantage of the discounts they offer during the event. A very unexpected and very welcome surprise was Stinson SM-6000-B NC11153 piloted by Greg Herrick himself. I had a chance to talk to Greg Herrick, and he had planned on bringing Ford 4-AT NC1077 but it was down due to one engine making metal.

Thanks for sharing Dan, I loved those blurred props!

Thanks Ollie. The blurred props on taxi were purely accidental... I mean intentional.

That Stinson is a stunning plane! This is something we don't see here in Europe. Thanks for posting dj51d.
