|
There are always many fascinating things going on at Oshkosh... here's a sampling from Wedneday.
|
|
|
|
It's doubtful that this Stearman ever looked this nice while it was actually in military service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Stearman has side access panels similar to the Pitts Model 14.
|
|
|
|
|
|
More details of the Stearman's forward fuselage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a rare Ford 4-AT-A trimotor (most Fords are 4-AT-B or 5-AT models.) The large, corrugated Tin Goose was polished all over!
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Chanute is a brand new, high-technology aerobatic monoplane from CADCOR with many interesting features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the first glass cockpit we've seen used for a purely aerobatic aircraft... unless you count military aircraft.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Airspeed and altitude... what else do you really need?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Chanute has a neat rudder pedal arrangement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The leading-edge extensions are somewhat similar to those on an F-16 or F/A-18.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This S1-S is owned by Robert Richards of Indiana.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The classic Pitts color scheme...
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's nothing quite like a Cub. This Wisconsin-based J-3C has a very attractive paint scheme. Note the vortex generators on the wings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gerrit Vanderziel's nice Pitts S-1S was built in 1977.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Steve Jones' Skybolt returned, with baby in tow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Skybolt Jr. even has tie-downs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The sleek, single-seat Polen Special first flew in 1972 and is now owned by Richard Keyt. It really is as fast as it looks... how about 325mph cruise on 200 hp?
