Oshkosh #6: The Ready Line

The Ready Line is my name for it, not theirs.  It's where the most significant aircraft seemed to be, and was extremely active throughout my entire time there.  The planes were incredible and I only got about half of them.  #57 was there, as was Odegaard's 'Duggy' DC-3, several B-17's, and a couple B-24's.

The Carnauba just after landing.  There are no words to describe how awesmoe this aircraft is.  :D

The business end of Glacier Girl!  ;D

A Phantom sits waiting to do fly-by's.  This is the loudest plane I have ever heard!

One of several B-17G's.  They promised 6, but I only saw 4...

An absollutely beautiful little Wildcat.

An even nicer Sea Fury...

Real nice shots, and they call it Aeroshell Square... ;)
Today they had an A-10 there, which was awesome. And that F-4 is incredible flying. Just awesome. I couldn't really meet up with anyone there as I was working at the Civil Air Patrol Recruitment booth. You can actualy see it in the shot of the F-4, right next to the climbing wall. 8)

Glacier Girl...is that the restored one? The one they pulled out of the ice and rebuilt? I remember reading about it when it first all went down, but I never looked back into it...

You think the F-4 is loud, you should hear the Harrier! I've heard em both, the the Harrier deffinitly takes the prize...but the 4 is one beautiful ugly aircraft.
