GREAT SHOW AS ALWAYS
I WAS THERE ON THURSDAY
ATTENDANCE WAS DOWN BUT REALLY MADE IT NICE
GOOD DISPLAYS
ABOUT 7 O-2'S
SAW ONE 337 COMING INTO OSH WHILE THERE
I LANDED ATW (JERRY'S ADVICE) AND ROAD THE BUS
WORKED OUT GOOD EXCEPT THE 172 THAT TRIED TO LAND IN FRONT OF ME. ALMOST RUINED MY WHOLE DAY. I WAS LESS THAN A 1/4 MILE FINAL WHEN THIS GUY DECIDED TO TURN FINAL IN FRONT OF ME.
WE HAD A HUGE RAIN / THUNDERSTORM AT 1:30 JUST BEFORE THE AIRSHOW. FOUND SHELTER UNDER ONE OF THE PAVILIONS AND THEIR WAS THE COMMANDER OF THE SR71 WING FROM BEALE AFB TALKING ABOUT THE BLACKBIRD. TOOK US ON A AUDIO / VISUAL MISSION IN A SR FROM GROUND TO 85,000 FT AT MACH 3.05 AND BACK DOWN. THAT WAS REALLY A UNPLANNED TREAT. AWESOME PRESENTATION.
OF COURSE ONLY SPENDING ONE DAY THERE I SAW ABOUT 1/3 OF THE DISPLAYS. AIRSHOW FINALLY STARTED ABOUT 4:OO PM
IT WAS GREAT.
