Don't forget Paul, plenty of fluids, sun cream, and a chair to take a rest on !
Have a great time, and get plenty of photos!

Have a blast Paul!

 

[GrauGeist]

Been keeping an eye on the EAA's facebook page...really shaping up to be a great event this year. Sadly, I can't go but I'll be following the EAA and friends on FB...

Have fun Paul and we'll be looking forward to all the photos!

 

[Micdrow]

Thanks guys, so far it looks like great weather for a airshow, suppose to be in the 70's to 80's F so that's not to bad

 

[Airframes]

In that case, take a coat, umbrella and boots. That way, it's bound to stay sunny!

 

[Micdrow]

Well its finally here, Its 5:00 am here and I am getting ready to go to Oshkosh for Day 1 to the public. Should be an awesome day.

 

[Micdrow]

Here you go, Day one for me. Started out very cloudy but then later in the day the sun came out.

Enjoy!!!

Great stuff Paul !
Is that first one a 'Texan II'? Very like the Embraer 'Tucano' and the Pilatus PC-21.
BTW, if you want to improve the 'brightness' of those photos taken in dull conditions, you can do so by using the 'Gamma correction' facility in 'Irfanview'. I've had to use that facility on the photos from the two Cosford shows, due to using the wrong settings on the camera!
Looking forward to the next lot.

 

[Micdrow]

Thanks Terry, not sure on the first one, I will have to look it up but it sure looked mean.

Couple of more as you can tell Terry the sun got better :O) By the way that was paint they where using on the C-47 LOL

Looks like a great line-up Paul! One of these days, I'll find the cash, and energy, to visit a 'Stateside' show.

 

[Gnomey]

Excellent shots Paul!

Terry Paul, according to the EAA's page, that first aircraft Terry asked about is a Beechcraft AT-6

Captioned above thier photo of it as it was aproaching the ramp yesterday:

EAA - The Spirit of Aviation [20 hours ago]
This just really isn't the aircraft most of us think of when we hear AT-6. An impressive addition to Beechcraft's display at ‪#‎OSH13‬, regardless.

This is a Beechcraft AT-6, which is based on the Pilatus PC-9.

Great shots Paul, keep 'em coming!

By the way, think we should add the AT-6's photo to Chris' "Sharkmouth" thread?

Man, I envy you guys that live close to events and museums. Great shots Paul. Had I known that there was a Ventura there, I would have asked for some tail de-icer boots photos. And Terry, where might this Gamma option thingee be in Irfanview?

Eric is there and I think a few other guys

Why not post a "picture request" and see if they catch it?

Geo,

This is day one of 7 for the EAA, I have a week pass so I will be out there most of the remaining 6 days so if its there tomorrow I will see what I can do for photo's of the tail. Any one else say now as I will look at this before I head out tomorrow.

All the best
Paul
