AirVenture 2008

A group from my work went up to OshKosh for AirVenture

It was the first time I've ever been to an airshow and it was AMAZING!

Maybe someday I will be in this picture of women pilots!

My boss gave me a tour and he is an encyclopedia of information on avionics, aircrafts, history of aircrafts and he is a helicopter pilot so my head was spinning when the day was over. I learned so much!

It is an experimental show so many of the aircraft were new and for pilot owned. There were experimental, war birds, business jets, antiques, hobby planes and about any type of gadget that a pilot might need.

This was my favorite. It is a Swift and designed by WW2 fighter pilots after the war. Isn't is CUTE (can a plane be cute?)

antiques

This Husky is meant for rough terrain like Alaska.

There was so much to see, new aircraft, old aircraft, experimental, simulators and lot's of gadgets and cool whiz-bang stuff for pilots.

This is a simulator.

This is a plane that folds up and you transport it on a trailer. It does water landings. WILD!

Da Blimp.

You don't need a license for this.... hmmm... maybe this is the route I should take!

Many of the people that attend the show fly in and camp, this is the parking lot.

This is an antique that won a contest few years ago.

This is a King Air, we put together CBT training for the Rockwell Collins avionics for this airplane.

It was beautiful.

Before the airshow started they had someone sing the Star Spangled banner and this is how the presented the colors of the flag. Is this cool or what!?!?
