The "Official" EAA AirVenture 2010 thread

[warbird1]

That’s the story with this Russian B-25. Don’t recall seeing it before, new to the circuit or just new paint?


Thanks,
Phil

Owned by Rod Lewis. Based in San Antonio I believe.

Formerly Bill Arnot's "Silver Lady".

Phil, if you go back in the archives here and search for the POF Chino airshow from May, there are plenty of pictures of it. That was the airplane's first "public" debut.

OSHKOSH SOGGY: CHECK BEFORE YOU FLY


Three days of torrential rains have left much of Wittman Field at Oshkosh in seriously soggy condition just as AirVenture arrivals are picking up. Some aircraft were being diverted on Saturday evening to land at other airports in the area. EAA's Dick Knapinski told AVweb Saturday night that anyone planning to fly into Wittman should check the latest EAA AirVenture parking status at
[url]Airventure.org/aircraft/parking_status.asp[/url]
before departing on the final leg into Oshkosh. The weather cleared Saturday night and Sunday is expected to sunny and warm. AVweb will have additional reports on Sunday.

I was just looking back over my pics from Oshkosh and found an interesting shot of the Warbird and North 40 parking areas on Monday morning and a couple of shots of the results of trying to park some planes on the turf before it had baked in the sun long enough.

Yikes!

The Aeroshell Square area had the DC-2, an AMerican Airlines DC-3, the yellow "Duggy" another C-47 in olive drab with the words "Paratroop" or something on the side, and the very special C-47D. The polished metal and copper C-47D is one of 28 built after WWII in DEC. 1945 and all were exported to foreign countries. Only 12K hours since new,a really special Gooney.

That was an amazingly beautiful airplane.

It's been almost 3 weeks...even I don't take THAT long to recuperate.

Methinks Tim needs to work on certain priorities.

Is it too late to pile on a few more photos? I figure I can run this out to 30 pages if needed. My apologies for the crappy sky during the Friday Warbirds show - looks like a gray sheet...

































Got some of about everything - will post more if there's still interest

[mazdaP5]

yes, there is interest!

No jet formations ?

[garbs]

Hmmm...maybe I'll start with some Jet formations:

















Here's a few singles passes:





















I guess the Heritage flights count too, after a fashion (sky sucked as a background for Friday):















Angle's not the best on this one but it's kind of cool to see all of the leading edge hardware and speed brakes out on the Phantom:

Here's some trainers:





































All for tonight

Very nice, thanks, Chris.
