For those who know the Pitts, no explanation is necessary; for those who don't, maybe no explanation is possible. (Seen in an eBay auction by 'bigguy4962' for a Pitts Special T-shirt)

It was a good show, the attendance was good and things went pretty smoothly all around. After a very busy week at an airshow, it is always good to finally head home. Steen's hardworking Oshkosh crew: (Rear, L-R) Paul and Sherry Goetsh, Rick McGahee, Jeff Long, John Goetsch, Jere Larson, Justin McGahee, and Andreas Kranz (our German representative). (Front, L-R): Mike Hughes, Cheryl and Jake Everette, Barrett Brummett, Christy Everette, David Stone, and Phil Everette.   Rick enjoyed a helicopter ride on a Bell 47.   Mike Hughes seals up the tent for the evening.   The Pitts 14 fits snugly into the tent.   After a good show, we begin the process of disassembling everything.   The Skybolt is wheeled out of the tent.   Take-down is a lot faster than the set-up.   We bring a lot of stuff.   Everything is packed carefully for the trip home.   Rick and Jeff work hard to get everything packed up.   Justin tries to be at home in the truck.     Other entries in this series:      We're heading up to Wisconsin!    July 21, 2004      Skybolt Flight - Melbourne to Oshkosh    July 22, 2004      Travelling to Oshkosh    July 23, 2004      Pre-Show Setup    July 26, 2004      Tuesday, July 27 - Opening Day    July 27, 2004      Wednesday, July 28    July 28, 2004      Thursday, July 29    July 29, 2004      Friday, July 30    July 30, 2004      Saturday, July 31    July 31, 2004      Sunday, August 1    August 1, 2004       » Monday, August 2    August 2, 2004      Skybolt - Return Trip    August 2, 2004 If you have any additions or corrections to this item, please let us know.
