Blue skies, Bob Hoover, and an unbelievable FM-2 Wildcat project, it's all good at AirVenture today. As you can see, Bob Hoover was a huge draw in Warbirds today. This Wildcat was pulled from the bottom of Lake Michigan. Its a "restoration" project but...
If you know me you know I'm not a camper loving person so I always stay at the University of Wisconsin dorms. Bus transportation is cheap ($1.50) fast and frequent. Normally its hot as heck here but this year it's much cooler and actually comfortable....
It may wear you down but you'll never wear out walking up and down all the rows of aircraft at OSH. This polished aluminum Spartan Executive was drawing some well deserved attention. - Glad to hear!! Amy presented in Vintage today. To truly appreciate Amy's Gullwing Stinson...
