    Fly Like an Eagle

    Today was Day 5 of AirVenture in Oshkosh. Hard to tell if attendance is up, down, or the same as last year. We should know the final figures by early next week. I can tell you that I've seen a ton of people from places from all 4 corners of the earth. I felt kind of bad for the guy from Israel...

    Fly Like an Eagle

    A bit of a change-up for today's AirVenture. Instead of pictures of planes we'll be focused on the pyrotechnics of Wednesday night's Air Show. They feature two Night time Air Shows during the week. The following photos are not mine, this event occurred far past my bedtime. Many people will tell...

    For those following along, Wednesday was Day 3 of AirVenture in Oshkosh. The day began with a Thunderstorm that hit about 7 a.m. and the rain came down in buckets. It's been a dry year in this part of the state so the rain is welcomed. On the other hand, being in a Thunderstorm on an airport...

    Alrighty then...Day 2 of AirVenture is in the books. If you noticed the timestamp on my posting earlier, the alarm went off at 4 a.m. to start my day. I'm no fan of getting up that early, once up then I'm fine with it. So, a couple of pics from the show.... This is Warbird Alley as the sun is...

    Fly Like an Eagle

    A couple of pictures from Day 1 at AirVenture in Oshkosh. Hats off to the 148th Fighter Wing of the Minnesota Air National Guard, Duluth. Post World War I. But not by much. A view of the EAA Campground from a Bell 47 Helicopter. The kind they used on episodes of TV's MASH. Interstate Hwy...

    It's Day One at AirVenture today. Here's a Live Camera of the Boeing Plaza. This would be Ground Zero for the Fly In and shows the planes and people of E.A.A. in Oshkosh. This Cam is remote and is livestreaming 24/7. I'll try to add something of interest each day. Click on this link and then...

    It's Almost Mid-Summer, How's Fishing?

    Good for you, Kelly! They say, "Memories Make Us Rich" and you sir must be a wealthy man! I'm guessing she got her fishing skills from Grampa and her good looks from someone else.:LOL:

    This is a Flame-Free Zone. What you posted is mostly accurate. If the parents want to drive all night to get to the next tournament, so be it. It's their time, their money, and their kids. As for aspirations for D1 and the Pro's, I would opine that somebody's kids are going to get a chance. The...

    Safety First!

    So the TV News Reporter asked the guy on the street. "What would you do if someone broke into your home with the intent to harm your family?" The guy replied, "I'd call 8-1-1." The Reporter responded, "You mean 9-1-1." "No", the guy replied, "8-1-1, I'd want to know where it's safe to dig a...

    Keweenaws First Meaningful Rain of the season

    Dry also here in Wisconsin's Fox Valley. Lawns are brown and I've been watering the garden daily since May. The drought maps disagree, but I was in the Madison/Sun Prairie area this week and it looked a little better in the south. One thing I've never seen in my lifetime is the smoke/haze from...

    With a nod to the Steve Miller Band we've been prepping for AirVenture 2023 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin for some time now. This will be my 7th year as a volunteer moving people and planes at the busiest airport in the World for the last week in July, the 24th thru the 30th. We had something like...

    Newest Honda Goldwing

    Sometimes you have to wonder what the engineers were thinking when they designed this stuff. The filter on my truck is behind the front left wheel. To change the filter on the Blizzard, the exhaust has to come off. On the Spyder, I just take it in to the dealer. It requires a lift and most of...
