Oshkosh 2005 pictures up

Hilton pointed out:
If it was truely a South African party, it would have been a massive braai
(not BBQ).

Braai is pronounced "bri" where the "i" sounds like the "I" in "I am at
Oshkosh".

Okay, okay, it was a braai! Maybe I should have let someone else explain the
party... :-P .... By next year I'll know everything there is to know about
the party.

It *was* as a massive BBQ, and they sure seemed to be South African, so
let's go with braai.

Tony,

Okay, okay, it was a braai! Maybe I should have let someone else explain
the
party... :-P .... By next year I'll know everything there is to know about
the party.

Make sure you ask them about the boerewors, sosatis, and biltong!

small story...this year as the South Africans were setting up, we were
driving by as they were dumping stuff out of their storage shed.
One guy took the rolled up American flag and tossed it on the ground...I
saw it happened and I blew up! I yelled at the guy to pick it up, but I
guess he didn't understand me so I got out and picked up the flag and
leaned it against some other stuff off the ground, with a really angry
expression on my face. I think they got the message.

Nice pictures Tony...but...man, driving from CA to OSH and back? Wow,
*that's* dedication. I'm a whimp, I fly. Hehe, way more fun too, even
from Northern CA :-)

One of these days Jack...! Hopefully by next year I'll have my plane
finished. I'm building a Stits Flutterbug at Flabob Airport here in So. Cal.
That may be wishful thinking though. As for this year, the promise of White
Knight, SpaceShipOne, Global Flyer, Glacier Girl, Fifi (until the last
minute), all the forums, and the fact that it's simply the greatest place on
Earth made me have to go by any means necessary. Besides, who doesn't love
road trips? 2800 miles each way, going down I-10 through Tucson to drop a
friend off, seeing the country, stopping to see family for a free meal and
bed, the amazement of my first Oshkosh, and the experience of Scholler. Was
it worth it? I think we already know the answer to that!

Of course, now I'm hooked on the experience. I have an annual trip I'll have
to take every summer.

My name is Tony, and I'm addicted to aviation.

hehe...I'll bet you started planning next year about the third day of
the show this year. Um...don't ask me how I know that...pure
speculation...um, sort of :-)

What makes you think I waited that long? The minute I got out of the LA area
by car, I knew I had the perfect excuse for a summer road trip every year.
That is, until I get my flying contraption built and in the air.

Oh how I love this flying nonsense!

Oh, Tony -- I'm so sorry.

Does your family know you've got the aviation, uh, you know?

;-)

(It's incurable, you know -- thank goodness!)

Alright, I realize that Oshkosh is so very last week, but with my drive home
to Southern California and going back to work it's taken me until now to
weed through all 1992 pictures I took.

I weeded them down to 539... obviously not all of them are interesting but
at least they're broken up into categories, including the rec.aviation.*
party at Jay's, so hopefully they're at least enjoyable.

Being my first Airventure, this was one of the most incredible things I've
ever experienced. Next July won't come early enough.
