Oshkosh 2010 Airshow
« on: July 28, 2010, 10:16:36 am »

I spent the day yesterday with some friends at the amazing airshow at Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  We left at 6:00AM, spent the day wandering around the huge show, and just as we were about to leave, a jet crashed.  Two people on board were able to walk away, but it closed the airport.  We had just tied the plane down for the night when the airport was reopened for departures.  We scrambled to get in the air, trying to beat a thunderstorm.  We nearly made it, but had to land and wait for a couple of hours in Rochester, MN.  Finally got home at midnight and tumbled into bed.  What a day!

Yup that's it, and that's exactly the pic that elicited the comment.
