as floatsflyer says no GWFM ww1 replicas. There was a very nice Sopwith Pup on the Rotec stand that I saw land on Wed evening I think. Also an Airdrome SE5A in the warbird area and Eric Presten's...
Good-
the weather generally, at least upto Friday 2pm when we left
the vintage turnout, some really nice aircraft and lots of them
ultralights seemed to be more going on and more exhibitors down...
thanks mayhemxpc for some insight into the warbrid show, much as expected and we love to see you guys flying. However with all that I still think there is room for improvement, particularly on shows...
yes apart from single jets, Blue Angles have never been at least since 1984 when I started coming. I missed 86 with the Frecce Tricolori, not sure when the snowbirds were, either 90 which I also...
I thought there were more aircraft than ever early in the week and an awful lot of departures on Thursday and Friday. Never seen the homebuilt area so quiet as when we walked thru there Friday late...
Sam,
thank for your post and thank very much for brining that beautiful Farchild 71. To see the two Fairchild 71s in the air together would certainly have been one of the highlights of the week. Who...
I had a great 5 and a half days at Oshkosh, Sunday to Friday morning. Great turnout of aircraft, although the warbirds were a bit down and met up with many many friends, always great time.
But as...
I saw an article Farnborough Vs Oshkosh on the EAA Hotline ...
yes, it was there all week, at the end of the row of Globe Swifts. CCTV cameras on it too, so a friend said and keypad entry doors. Obviously something subversive going on in the Swift group!! Or...
The best things about Oshkosh don't change and hopefully continue despite any changes, that is the people who come year after year and the fantastic array of aircraft that they bring, the new...
yes there is a big area, from around where the Cessna 195s park all the way south to the Ultralights which is Camping and will be affected by this problem. This area is usually full by Sunday...
Great post Jeff, I totally agree.
Others make the point about the unusual or extraordinary attracting crowds to Oshkosh, that is perhaps true, but the Thunderbirds surely don't fit that bill, they...
true that lots of people do watch the airshow all the time thru the parked aircraft and sitting well back. But not anyone who wants to take a descent photograph, they are all on the burn line and...
wow, that rule manual contains an awful lot of things that EAA will have to do!
But it also says that the host organisation has to pay for the Thunderbirds show!!! But hasn't it been said before...
and of course in the homebuilt parking, 100 ft is the whole of the current parking area, its pretty thin up there between the golden Arch and the warbirds.
Id also rather see the Thundebirds than...
Hi Roger,
yes its going to be real pain for photos during the main warbird airshows on Friday and Saturday. The best area for photography is usually on the flighline south of where the Cessna 195s...
