airventure 07- part 9-light "GA"

[beaky]

Some assorted light aircraft; the entire spectrum is represented at AirVenture.


A brandy-new, shiny Grand Caravan, just begging to get all dirty.

     


This might actually be a homebuilt; can't remember what it is. But it looks inviting.

     


Ditto this beastie...

     


A Cessna 150 driver makes a perfect landing. The 150s were under-represented this year, but there were many 172s.

     


A different sort of Cessna: a RR-powered turbine 210... drool...

     


The Husky I'm going to win, courtesy of the EAA... bought six tickets, wish me luck!




Next: part 10

The wheels on that Husky are amazing  :D If you win will you fly over here and give me a ride?

Also, is it just me, or does that Caravan look too big for the teeny-tiny prop?  :-?  ;)

Those are tundra tires- made for operating easily on any surface, including riverbeds with fairly large stones. When I win I will see about getting an auxiliary tank for a trip across the Pond... actually, I'm not sure if it's IFR-equipped, so maybe not.

Also, is it just me, or does that Caravan look too big for the teeny-tiny prop?  :-?  ;)

That prop has fairly broad blades, and that PT-6 delivers more than enough torque to keep that big wing flying.

I know if you win the Husky i'll see ot at South Jersey Regional, right?  ;)

Great shots!!
