Okay guys and/or gals, lets see some of the Antiques and Classics at AirVenture this year? I've got but two more days at home before I depart for Michigan, thus my internet access will be minimal at best for over a week.

Wow... none!? No pictures from the vintage side this year!? We need more reporters in the field!

Hi guys,

I have some, including the Zenith but I don't have a way of posting them at the moment.

Dan-I have pictures of Cournoyers Spartan too I need to get to you. It's still in pieces.

I'm suprised too, that there haven't been any posted.

(Hi Keith, just got back a few days ago, had a nice ten day trip, off to Wings Over Wine Country in Santa Rosa today and tomorrow.)

I'll try to get to mine sometime this weekend... If you see my free time, let me know where it is, I'd like to know...

It seemed to me that vintage numbers were way down this year, off the top of my head, I can only recall 1 Stearman in the vintage area.

As promised, here are a number of shots of the vintage aircraft at Oshkosh this year.

My hero, thank you very much for posting. Looks like the antique numbers were down this year? Cool seeing that Rwandon (sp?) there, haven't seen one in almost 25 years.

You da' Man, Dan.
Good posts. But uh.. could you id. them. I only recognized about a third. Cool to see two Tri Motors about but really nice to see Pembertons there in the 40. Who came up with that Giraffe fur paint job on the S-39??? ACK!
More?

Actually, the giraffe scheme was authentic to the Osa's original plane shown at http://www.airminded.net/sikorsky1/G986.jpg with more pictures at: http://www.airminded.net/sikorsky1/osasark.html
