EAA Airventure Meuseum (part 1)

[Ben_M_K]

Here are some pics I took yesterday at the EAA Airventure meuseum. The first is of me in a RV6A that I got to fly! The next 2 are of a Travel Air giving rides and the last 2 are of a Ford Tri-Moter giving rides. The Tri-Moter is the last one left in the world still flying. It was a treat to watch. All these pics are from the Pioneer Airport right next to KOSH. Check it out in FS9. I might post more pics of vintage planes in the hangers later.

Hi Ben, The path is case-sensitive including the file extension. I don't know why if you used IrfanView to save them but yours have a .JPG extension, NOT the lower-case .jpg. For example: TravelAir2.JPG

Here's the first one. I'll leave you to fix the others.

PS. Image removed.

[Hagar]

I see you figured it out. Fix them all then I'll remove mine.

These are excellent shots Ben. Thanks for posting them.

[Ben_M_K]

Actually I did'nt fix them. I dont know how they got fixed. So what your saying is that I need to change them from .JPG to .jpg?

[Hagar]

No. They're fine as they are. Check the path in image #4. Delete it & start again. Make sure there are no spaces between the brackets. The path is http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/Tri-Moter2.JPG

The default Tri-motor in FS2004 is based on that one. Same livery too.

Yes it is. Its a cool livery. That Tri-Moter stays there year round. You can take rides in it for $35 for adults or if your uner 17 its only $25 and its a 15 minute ride. I was so surprised how quickly it got off the ground! Its just a small grass strip runway. Whithin seconds the tail is up and seconds more and its off. What a sight to see.

That Tri-motor looks so familiar somehow!  I wonder where I have seen that one before...  ;)

Yes it was quite fun. And I got to do it for free! Anyone beetween the ages of 8-17 can ride for free if they have pilots availible. Its just a volenteer thing.
