Message: [QUOTE="JBtheExplorer, post: 514960, member: 5437"] Had a great time at EAA Airventure this past Saturday. Got to see a lot of awesome aircraft. This is the Redbull plane that landed on the Dubai helipad earlier this year. If you havent seen it, it's a viral video on youtube. I didn't realize while I was there that you could sit in it to get your photo taken. I probably would've done that had I realized. [ATTACH type="full"]159509[/ATTACH] This is a newly restored P-51 once owned by Jimmy Stewart. [ATTACH type="full"]159510[/ATTACH] Another P-51 with a paint scheme dedicated to the Tuskegee Airmen. That's me in the photo. You might not be able to tell, but I'm wearing a shirt with that exact plane on it. [ATTACH type="full"]159511[/ATTACH] The newly restored C-121A Constellation. It's first flight after restoration was just over a month ago! [ATTACH type="full"]159520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]159521[/ATTACH] MiG-17 [ATTACH type="full"]159512[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]159522[/ATTACH] PT-17 Stearman [ATTACH type="full"]159524[/ATTACH] F/A-18 [ATTACH type="full"]159513[/ATTACH] F-35 [ATTACH type="full"]159514[/ATTACH] A restored P-47 Thunderbolt razorback called "Bonnie". The only one of its kind that's airworthy. [ATTACH type="full"]159515[/ATTACH] B-25 [ATTACH type="full"]159523[/ATTACH] B-25 starting up as it was about to leave Airventure Saturday evening. [ATTACH type="full"]159516[/ATTACH] F-22 during the start of the night air show. [ATTACH type="full"]159517[/ATTACH] MiG-29 & MiG-17 [ATTACH type="full"]159518[/ATTACH] DHC-1 Chipmunk [ATTACH type="full"]159519[/ATTACH] Unfortunately, there were two separate incidents that day that killed four people. A T-6 took off and crashed into Lake Winnebago just a few minutes later. Both people on board were killed. The pilot was the daughter of a former NFL player. Later in the day, two ultralight rotorcraft collided mid-air and crashed. Two were killed and two others injured. This happened near the ultralight runway that I was at just 50 minutes earlier. I remember seeing one of the airport's firetrucks on the taxiway heading in that direction, but didn't think anything of it at the time. The airshow that was scheduled almost two hours after that crash was delayed for a short while but ultimately went on. [/QUOTE]
