Jay,
Un-fortunately, Gee Whiz is what sells. What most of us here find
interesting is not very interesting at all to 98+% of the world.

This video aired last night on Discovery Wings, and I can't tell you how
disappointed I was.

They didn't cover the fly-in at all, preferring to focus instead on the
"gee-whiz" parts of the show, including Burt Rutan, Bruce Bohannon, and
NASA's ever-optimistic predictions of a flying car in every man's garage...

While these are all interesting aspects of the show, they are NOT what
Oshkosh is all about, and I was deeply disappointed that they didn't cover
any of the real reasons we've attended OSH for 22 years in a row...

I certainly hope EAA had nothing to do with this production. Heck, I can't
even remember them talking about EAA at all!
