Just realized that I have two "part 8"s out there... eh, whatever. Howzabout some eggbeaters?

The small choppers, new production and kits, were fltying demos every day at the ultralight area. Some neat little whirlybirds... no idea what they are.

There were a couple of Bell 47s giving rides from Pioneer Airport next door, but I decided the line was too long. Got to see them many times a day as they flew right over my campsite.

This ancient Alouette flew all the way from France to Wisconsin... wow.

Image      


It was accompanied by this Dauphin(?)... I have some neat video of this entire group lining up for a hovering "bow" at show center... very precise flying.

Not much in the way of military choppers this year, but this Cobra was cool.

Next: part 11

"Audace, toujours l'audace!"... my favorite French motto. ;D

Kuddos to the Frensh guy!  :o

What type of chopper are those first models? I googled the registration and searched on airliners, but nothing comes up...

They look sleak!

That is an Agusta 109 I do believe.
