The First Unofficial Oshkosh Airventure 2009 Thread

[CAPFlyer]

Even sitting here in my office, I enjoyed watching the Lysander arrive this morning. And in case no one misses it, it is great to see this article posted on the AirVenture front page, about Taylor and his L-5: http://www.airventure.org/news/2009/090728_l5.html

Congrats on the article Taylor! Next stop - the stage at the end of the week accepting your trophy/plaque/whatever they give out for your prize(s)!

Vlado,
What is that I see on Moonbeam ? Exhaust stains ? You need to have a chat with your crew chief back there.........

Congrats on the article Taylor! Next stop - the stage at the end of the week accepting your trophy/plaque/whatever they give out for your prize(s)!

Thanks! We're just having a blast showing the airplane.

Today was pretty close to perfect. To see a fifth P-40 on the field gave me the biggest grin. Hopefully I can get some pics done and posted. It's 1am and I just got home and need to sleep sometime. Taylor did an amazing job with that L-5! It's been a highlight for me so far. If it doesn't take home an award I swear i'll make one up for them.

This is killing me, two years in a row I can't make it.... grrr. . As a personal favor could you guys post ALOT of pictures?

I'll do the best I can with the spare time i've got. The rain gave me some free time today so we'll see how it goes. I'm sure others will help out too!

What you do is really appreciated by me and many others that can't be there as its like we are there.........

After a mid-morning arrival



I was offered the empty back seat in Excalibur with pilot Mike Schiffer. Here outbound for a ride



A Little chase



Return approach over the lake



Break to land



I also met Wixer Trey Carroll who flew a t-6 in on Friday. (Please don't grow up to be a Hopper!)

It was a nice day and I got a lot more photos when I have more time. I have to go now to see what ese I missed yesterday.

Looks like someone had a rough day

I am living vicariously through all of you at OSH this week while I'm stuck in my cubicle, watching the webcam whenever I can sneak a peak...

It's owned by Bob Baker, the same guy who has "Sweet & Lovely".

A few from Tuesday.

BT-13 aerobatics are the coolest thing ever!












And a couple non-Warbird shots for those who are into that kinda thing.



Note about the A380 shot: This isn't a climbing out shot, this is a high alpha pass!
