Default OSH '07 Redux -- Pix & Video

Nicely composed.
Good mix of text and pix.
Thanks for another great week of hospitality.


Thanks. We had a great time, and I sure appreciated seeing you and
the "Little French Girl" again!

It's funny, if you look at my pix from our early years at OSH, they
look like everyone else's -- all cool airplanes. Every type, every
model, every color, in every attitude -- that's all I could see, at
first.

Now, with age (some might call it "seasoning". Or, at Oshkosh, we
might call it "ripening" :-), I've lost interest in taking pix of just
the airplanes. Sure, they provide the backdrop for everything, and
they are the reason we are there -- but I always try to include images
of the people I truly care about. Those are the photos with "legs",
and those are the ones that hang on our hangar walls.

Two of our four hangar walls are now entirely covered with 8.5 x 11"
photos of past flights, going all the way back to 1998. They provide
a visual chronicle of our lives, all the way back to the very first
day we rolled our "new" Warrior into the hangar.

Visitors always comment on how cool it is, to be able to see the kids
grow up just by looking at "The Wall", and you can bet that I'll be
adding half a dozen more pix from OSH '07. You (and all the other N40
guys and gals) will be up there for all to see!
