The last set.

I'm not sure why this image was so noisy. Anyway, the Lance returns after a few circuits. The left main tire still hasn't touched yet.


The Mooney taxis out and the pilot gives a wave. The takeoff roll is in my sig. Sun glare will be the death of me.



A '74 Cherokee waits on the ramp. She started up just as I was leaving.

Finally, there was an older gentleman who joined me on the bench with his Beagle. I struck up a conversation with him, and it turns out he was navigator in Korea on the A-26. They both were enjoying the nice warm sunshine.


That's all for now. Hopefully I can get back there this weekend if the weather is promising. This was my first chance I could really do some spotting here, and it's actually encouraged. I asked the lady behind the desk if it was okay to spot, and she said I could go on the other side of the runway for better light if I wanted to. I would've, but there was a lot of traffic and I didn't want to be involved and accident with a propeller slicing my beautiful face off.

You need a UV filter... does wonders, even for my craptacular camera.

An A-26 navigator, eh? You never know who you might meet hanging out at a little airport...

More nice shots!!

 I'm sure he has some very interesting stories!!  My Wife's Uncle was a navigator also on a A-26 but, During WWII.  He had also flown on B-29's.  I wish I had recorded some of the stories he use to tell me before he past away several years ago.

 Cool Dog!!

Nice shots James.

I'm amazed, I've never seen one spotter, or anyone hanging around here watching the traffic. :-? Maybe we're just too boring in Wisconsin, or maybe everyone is too busy with brats and beer, or, maybe the people in Madison don't like us...

That looks like a nice little airfield. Accept the offer to go over the other side next time.

Good luck with the job. 8-)

Go figure... I met a guy at FOF last month who seemd sort of an aviation buff, was from Wisconsin, but had never been to Oshkosh.
I don't get it.

Wonderfull stuff!  :)
