Friday was another busy day. Here are some of the things we saw.
|
|
|
|
The Steen/Shapes Group tent continued to be a busy place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Hatz biplane has been popular for several decades. This one, built by James Douglas of Colorado, is only about a year old.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This Hatz's "office" is elegantly done in a classic style.
|
|
|
|
|
|
More cockpit details. Mr. Douglas ought to be proud of this fine bird!
|
|
|
|
|
|
This 2002 Little Toot was built by Jim Longstreet of Michigan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another view of the Little Toot. This fully-aeobatic 1957 George Myer design began as a functional exact-scale model, and soon became very popular.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Toot's cockpit is nicely-appointed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another view of the office.

|
Aviat brought this Pitts S2-C.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a Monocub built by Paul Dannenberg.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is an original, Hisso-powered Curtiss Jenny! It was trailered from California to Brodhead, and then flown to Oshkosh. Few airplanes are as rare as this one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a rare, one of a kind 1939 Waco ARE. Only four were ever built. It won the Reserve Grand Champion - Vintage Aircraft Award at Sun N Fun 2003.
|
|
|
|
|
|
An AV-8B Harrier does its thing... always an impressive (and very loud!) show.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A typical Oshkosh scene: a JN-4H Jenny and a Harrier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rick admires the PA-28 Cherokee that EAA was giving away in their Membership Sweepstakes. (Sorry Rick... someone else won!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
The airshow is always enjoyable.
