Friday evening, Steen hosted the annual Biplane Cookout at our display. It's open to all biplane lovers and we had a great turnout this year... we figure roughly 150 people attended. It's always neat to talk to folks who are building or flying any number of planes... many folks there aren't building one of our designs, and the emphasis is simply on having a good time regardless of the kind of plane you fly so we think everyone felt right at home. It's also always great to be able to put faces with the names they may have known from online, the telephone, or elsewhere... and to catch up with old friends. We served burgers, dogs, chips, and various beverages, and everyone had a great time enjoying a beautiful evening. We can't wait to do it again!

Since the warbird airshow was canceled after the P-51 crash, they had to detonate the pyros for safety... so we got to hear the full pyro show in the span of about 1 or two minutes! This was the infamous "wall of fire" going off. You could feel the pressure waves at the Steen display!

Many folks enjoyed each other's company.

A great end to the day... a beautiful moonrise over Oshkosh.
