More OSH 2005 pix

Jack & Steve Allison flew to OSH all the way from California in Jack's
beautiful Piper Arrow. They were able to join us for both the
"Pre-Oshkosh Fly-In Pool Party" (held at the inn) and for the
"Rec.Aviation Party" (held at our campsite in OSH).

Steve has forwarded his Airventure photos to me, and (thanks to Jav
Henderson's almost unlimited server space and generosity) I present
them here for your viewing pleasure.

See: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/steve_allison's_pix.htm

I especially like this panoramic shot of the North 40:

, as it truly "captures" the feeling you get in the aircraft camping
area.

Thanks Steve, for sharing those great pix!

My first thought for a title after stitching the photos together was "So
many airplanes, so little time"


Steve

....and.... so many for sale, so little money!

Or..."We parked in row five hundred and what???? Ah, no matter, I'll
just wander around drooling over airplanes until I find mine"

Hey, if the TSA gets it's way and we all have to buy triple redundant locks
and security systems, maybe we can get key rings that will sound the sirens
and flash the beacons! That way we'll be able to find our planes, but if
somebody is actually stealing one, everybody will ignore it!

You could put some air (train) horns on it, like the helio courier, like at
OSH last year. I know they sure got my attention!

How kind of you to note that I was "pondering a point" instead of
feeding my face. :-))

29.4 hours round trip, averaged 7.3 gph, scooted across the ground
anywhere from just under 120 kts to 140+ kts, depending on the wind. It
was a very fun trip.

Not to mention trying to hold a conversation with Jay *before* he's had
coffee. Kids, don't try this at home! :-) Actually, Jay and Mary
impressed me by helping push us out of our parking spot before they'd
had their first cups of coffee.

Yes, way cool and one of those "Hey, why didn't I think of that?" things.

Mostly for Blanche...no, this was *not* what IOW looked like when we
arrived. Picture seeing the airport about four miles farther away,
really hazy, and that was the arrival. Well, then again, I really don't
need to tell you about that eh? I think we had 5-6 mile visibility when
we arrived. The nice picture of our wingtip and IOW is really Sunday
morning.

Sorry Jay, didn't want Blanche to think she was the only one to deal
with that wonderful "Visiblity 9" as reported by your AWOS. :-)
