    I'd be curious to know if the taffic on airventure.org skyrockets after the new year begins or when it really starts picking up. I know I've been there more times this week alone than the last 2...

    My earliest memory is being at an airshow! My dad took me. I mentioned it to him a few years ago and he flipped out. I gave him exact details of the airport, a red Pitts or Christian Eagle flying a...

    A few years ago at AV I had a Twin Beech with Air Force markings coming south from warbirds, so I figured he was going down to vintage. I began directing him south when he held a pink sheet of paper...

    I think I'd enjoy participating on Flugtag. I could have fun designing something that's both entertaining and functional.

    I'll let someone else "fly" it, though!! lol

    This fly-in was a nightmare! The turf runways were 5/23 (main runway) and 13/31 (little-used downslope, ski-jump runway) with trees around most of them. So naturally, the winds 340 15G30+ and about...

    I grew up in a town with the state's deaf school. I took a college course in ASL, but the only coherent statement I can remember from the class is "I forget how to sign." LOL

    It was a great show. I didn't make the night show last year, so this was a first for me! The only thing that would've made it better would've been a brisk breeze from the west to blow the smoke away...

    I love my Pentax. I started shooting with my dad's old '68 Ricoh. It still works beautifully, but shooting film was getting to be too expensive, so I went with Pentax (Ricoh's descendant). I love my...

    I find the lack of "putting on a show" odd. Viper pilots (hell, fighter pilots in general) rarely pass up a chance to put on a show, much less at an AIRSHOW. lol. That makes me curious if there was...

    I will agree that $3 for a bottle of water is too much, but, for what it's worth, it possibly cut down a little on the trash left scattered around the grounds this year. That's what disgusted me more...
