BDK, the young men here that were missing an arm or leg or both legs were not flying in the show, but they were here at Oshkosh and someone commented on them to me. It seems there were more than I have noticed in past years.

I did notice a few myself, including one young man in his early 20's on a golf cart.

He was missing both legs above the knees and was wearing those high tech walking legs. While nothing ever comes close to original equipment, these looked pretty good. I have a strange feeling he lost them in government service.
