Chuck Greenhill's Sea Fury gets a rubdown, after a short hop from Kenosha.
A Hawker Trio: One in middle has funny prop that spins in wrong direction.
Steve Patterson entertaining the groupies.
Gerry & friends
Anyone know who "J. Travolta" is?
For Paul Krumrei: BT-13 security made photos next-to-impossible.
For Chuck Gardner: This was the only tour pilot my camera could get in focus.
Mr. Fagen's Warhawk lettin' it all hang out.
Heading back Friday...any requests?

What is the Travolta airplane?
Wed Jul 26, 2006 7:37 pm
Trae--
More properly it's the "ex-Travolta" airplane, and colour me surprised to see it's at OSH. This is Allan Rubin's ex-RCAF deHavilland Vampire F.3, still wearing the RAF desert camo livery it wore when Mr Travolta owned it. It had latterly been in store in a hangar at Peterborough, Ontario. Mr Rubin's aircraft are not frequently seen in public. Hope he opts to change that state of affairs with the Vamp!

Yeah, what the heck is up with the SUV behind the Corsair?????
Wed Jul 26, 2006 10:47 pm
Forget the SUV, what is up with the dash 5 Corsair with all the odd coloured panels? Someone's new restoration and they did'nt have time to paint it before the show ala Chas. Osborne back in 1995? Whose is it and what's the scoop?

the pictures were taken back in 88 when the restoration was completed in florida for Peter Thelen, and the a/c was painted soon after, as far as the multi colors the aircraft was restored using parts from 2 airframes, the yellow is zinc chromate primer, the Corsair is now owned by Jim Read

Lanc dropped in Wednesday around 2:30 with the CWH's B-25.

Oh yeah, the SUV crash resulted from an overeager female Travolta fan.
Actually, Mr. Waltrip's -5 was parked down in the rather commercialized West Ramp area--the SUV is part of a display in which it's climbing over a simulated obstacle.
