Heaven, can't get any better! If you brought the bike and stayed you could go right over to the WI Rally.

Beef up an antique biplane with a big radial engine, strap a jet engine on the bottom, and you have this kind of silliness.

Hmm. Is this a good thing? (Can't tell.)

Well he can climb straight up almost out of sight..that ain't right..

then spin down to the ground an outrageous number of turns that's the start. I'm pretty blase about air shows I've seen a hundred of them or more, but that thing will make you look up

Lots of big radials rumbling over in formation.

Nice!

Hey Chuck, do you take special requests?
If any there, I'd like to see photos of:
-a 1930's Kinner Sportsters
( and maybe a Japanese Zero, the real thing, not a T-6 Baa Baa Blacksheep Zero.)

Thanks for sharing! I remember riding my LeMans to Oshkosh's EAA Museum. I got to fly passenger in a bi-plane, fun times. :)

Do you mind if I use this photo as one of my song covers?

Any Pitts Specials? Those always looked like a model airplane you could fly.

I have pics of both from previous years. Haven't been to antiques or ultralights yet.😁

I'm not a big warbird guy, but there are two b29s and at least 10 b25s in the air as we type. Nice soundtrack.

It's way too much trouble to do this on the phone. I'll update in a couple of days.
Back in camp.anyone like Walleye?

I REALLY like walleye!

John A · « **Reply #22 on:** July 25, 2017, 07:18:16 PM »

Look for a Storch, please. I almost built one but bailed out. The one I like is the kit from Austrailia , one of the engine options is a Guzzi engine. 3/4 scale, I think.

Gliderjohn · « **Reply #23 on:** July 25, 2017, 08:06:20 PM »

Damn it Chuck I am so...jealous. Sounds like a great time. Concerning a Pitts, I have a grand total of one hour logged in one, but what an hour it was!

Spin training, regular, accelerated, and upright flat spins. Glide ratio ain't worth a crap though.

Oops this is really hard to do on the phone. At any rate that was the rocket engine for the booster above.
Everybody likes to blow up stuff.

upload your photos

As requested there a couple of stagger Wings in the background. In the front is one of those nasty PT-22 that tried to kill me when I was a kid there's also a Spartan executive the kid flu that the other day after some mechanical work.
Tired of editing. :-)
Here's a couple of airplanes that I have flown. A 32Monocoupe in front, and a 30 Waco behind it

Rare Rearwin I was thinking about buying a few years ago.
