DVD of OSHKOSH 2005

Is that EAA DVD of OSH 2005 any good?

I don't like the 30+ bucks, but what the heck. Same price + shipping as 16R.

My gal had a good thought. She said we'll get onesixright for us, but we
should get the Oshkosh DVD for friends and family (6 copies) - since I was
actually at Oshkosh and have never even been to California, let alone VNY.

OSH 2005 or 16R for my peeps? I'm leaning toward EAA's OSH 2005 DVD.

Hmm.... I know this guy that I went to OSH last year that took some amazing
pictures. Hundreds of them in fact. I'm pretty sure he even knows how to
use a computer.... may even be able to come up with some great sound
tracks.... and some interesting articles about some of the planes that
visited OSH from his very own airport... some that he may have even helped
restore!

I'd bet that guy could put together a better DVD.

I don't doubt that. I would be a possible purchaser.

My problem is that I am too wrapped up in trying to see everything at OSH,
and don't concentrate on taking pictures, even though I take hundreds.

This was my first AirVenture, so I bought the DVD.

It was OK, but less than I would have expected. While I enjoyed Rutan's
stuff, I didn't see a need for (my exaggeration here...) 15 minutes of it. I
enjoyed seeing the aerobatic stuff, but, again, didn't need 20 minutes or
more of it.

There was too little "this is the guts of EAA" stuff there. A few quick
flashes of some of the planes, but mostly it was too much time spent on too
few topics.

Of course, everyone has their own "druthers", so trying to satisfy everyone
would be impractical...

As a Safari helicopter owner and publisher of the Experimental Helo
magazine, we go to Oshkosh pretty much every year. This year we bought the
DVD and were greatly disappointed. No rotorcraft at all inspite of our
being asked to and did perform a fly-by down the main runway two days in a
row. Worse yet was the too long aerobatic coverage, with NO coverage of the
Awards and then to add insult to injury, the @#$% Jet powered truck, which I
believe has no business at an aviation event. There was coverage of the
Mooneys and the Bonanzas, but essentially no coverage of the homebuilts.
EAA used to be short for EXPERIMENTAL Aviation Association. You sure
couldn't relate that title to the DVD content. I think if the current trend
continues they need to change the name to be more consistent with the
organizational behavior and focus. Maybe something like WAF&JD: Warbirds,
Aerobatics, Ford and John Deere.
