Miscellaneous AirVenture Comments

[john smith[_2_]]

The Little French Girl will likely be transferring from Boston to
Chicago in the next couple of months. Because she has passed her one
year probation, she will have a regular schedule and get vacation time.
There is the possiblity that she may show up at the RAP Party this year.

I am in the process of acquiring some prosumer audio and video gear for
a research project. Depending on how how my kids summer schedules go, I
may bring the gear to AirVenture and record the scenes each day I am
there. With the purchase of a Honda generator to power and recharge all
the batteries, I could conceivable edit the material and upload a daily
5-10 minute video podcast for those RAP'ers who are unable to attend.
Especially interesting would be a RAP Party Special Edition!
Lots of potential outtakes for before and after interviews.

Always a plus!

Well, according to Jav, there is virtually no limit. I suppose that
may be some exaggeration on his part, but I've sent gigabytes of video
files to his server, withtout a burp.

The real question is: Will any of the many (usually) anonymous
posters want video of their party escapades on the internet?

Anything posted to r.a.p. will have a "clean" tag.
Remember, I said there could be "out-takes". Some might also call them
"bloopers". Those would be found on a special, post-AirVenture DVD to be
made available to members. Or, for a price, not made available,
depending on the offer. ;-)

Motivation *not* to attend!

Keep in mind that what I would be recording would be things like:
- interesting and unusual aircraft on the field
- airshow highlights
- interviews
- campers and campsites
- flymarket finds

And I would have the RAP'ers around the MOAC to assist me with each
day's editing.

Getting a Crane shot for Christmas:

LaRue By Night - Street Beef: Commerciality in Christmas

And the next link...

http://www.sctvguide.ca/episodes/sctv_s42.htm#Show_7
"LaRue's set up the camera and microphone himself, and gives a classic
rambling monologue about how he had to beg for every crane shot he ever got,
before passing out. He is awakened by Santa, who's brought him a crane.
(music is 'Zadok the Priest' by Handel)"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_shot
"The television comedy SCTV uses the very concept of the crane shot as
comedic material. After using a crane shot in one of the first NBC produced
episodes, the network complained about the exorbitant cost of renting the
crane. SCTV writers responded by making the "crane shot" a ubiquitous symbol
of production excess while also lampooning network executives who care
nothing about artistic vision and everything for the bottom line. At the end
of the second season, an inebriated Johnny LaRue is given his very own crane
by Santa Claus, implying he would be able to have a crane shot whenever he
wanted it."

MOAC? No no no...it's PMC for the cooler, MOAG for Jim in NC's alleged
grill. Unless MontBlack achieves PMC 2007, there can be no other name
than PMC...but we know what you meant :-)

Hmmm, video editing by a bunch of us after consuming contents of said
cooler. Yeah, that could produce some quality video!

That's 2(.)007

PMC 2.0 was a coat of white paint (primer) on the original 2005 (green
treated) PMC 1.0

PMC 2.5 will be the designation of any future cooler able to hold 2.5
cases - ala Mooney's system. <g>

This year's model will be PMC 2.007

Then there's 2008's PMC 3.0 :-)

It also means the same video will get funnier as the evening passes.

Even though I didn't get to take it into the airplane camping area, you did
see it in tow, as I was leaving, didn't you?

That was the "year from hell" at OSH.

Replacing a transmission in the camping area is not a task to be taken
lightly. :-(

I didn't see much else that year, but doing it myself was the ONLY way I
could meet the deadline of getting back home to start teaching school.

Apparently, Jim, I was the only one sober enough to actually see, wave
-- and RECALL -- you leaving the OSH grounds that year...

<Chuckle>

That bad, huh? People were really making tracks away from OSH, when I left.
You leave the next day?

That was one time (the only time) that I was glad to be beating feet out of
there. I had a straight through, solo, (by road, for those not up on the
story) thousand mile journey.

When I was about 90 miles from home, in the wee hours of the morning, I was
stopping every 20 minutes to walk around the van a couple times, and driving
with the music real loud, to stay awake. I believe that was the last trip
of that type that I will ever take.

It all seemed so much easier when I was 20 years younger! <g>

I stopped driving all nighter's 25 years ago when I was in my mid-20's.
After driving non-stop from Ohio to The Badlands, I decided that it was
better to stop and get a restful sleep and arrive fresh than to risk
falling asleep at the wheel.
