Very, very nice. Now I, for one, would like to see the other 594. Okay, maybe not really, but you get the idea. :D 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.

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.

Image

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.
