Pix & Video from OSH '09

[Jay Honeck[_2_]]

I present, for your viewing pleasure, 200+ pix and several videos, all taken
last week at Oshkosh Airventure 2009:

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/oshkosh_2009.htm

Included in this collection is exceedingly rare, uncut footage of Jay, Mary,
and Brian Douglas singing karaoke at a formerly semi-respectable Oshkosh
bar... All I can say is "Never again!" Uff-da!

;-)

And, of course, there are pix from the world's only Fly-In Pool Party, and
the Wednesday North 40 Party.

Enjoy!

Jay,

The "Cessna Airmaster" ISN'T an Airmaster! It is either a C190 or C195,
depending on the engine.

The Airmaster was wooden-winged, with a steel tube fuselage and
fabric-covered, with a Warner engine and non-bumped cowl.

The C190/195 were all-metal, with either a Jacobs or Lycoming radial and
the bumbed cowl.

That's what *I* thought, too, but my A&P told me that it was actually an
Airmaster.

Oh, well -- whatever it was, it's a gorgeous aircraft!

And.....the Albatross isn't an Albatross either. Looks like a "Goose" to
me. :)))
In order from smallest to largest, they are Widgeon, Goose, Mallard, and
then Albatross.

Jay,

For those of us who did not make it, the pictures are really great. My love
of big crowds left me in one of the 20,000+ seat arenas I did sound
engineering for in the rock and roll days (1969 - 1982).

I always felt I should drive up or fly in with someone else. But that would
be like cheating.

Anyway, great job on the pix.

Mike

I hate big crowds, too -- but OSH isn't like rock concerts. Except when
you're in the big expo display hangars, you are never shoulder-to-shoulder.
You don't need to ever set foot in them.

In fact, I know folks who spend the entire week at OSH and never leave the
solitude of the North 40. It's nice out there, and can be quite peaceful.

I'm sure the plane in question is a 195 - 190's are few and far
between (think I've only seen one)

There WAS an Airmaster there - kind of hard to miss, since it was on
floats (probably the only
one in existance). I have a photo, but don't seem to have the option
to attach it. Perhaps later.

BTW - this one did have a bump cowl.

Agreed, although (as usual) this video almost completely ignores the North
40 and the daily arrivals/departures. That's the REAL "airshow" at OSH.

Not that I blame the film maker -- it's hard to ignore the thunder and
splash of the warbirds -- but Oshkosh is a fly-in, not an air show. The
heart and soul of it beats in the North 40, South 40, homebuilt and vintage
areas, and (more importantly) the pilots who fly in.
