Oshkosh AirVenture 2013

[cholubaz]

Hey are any of you planning on attending Oshkosh AirVenture 2013?
This will be my third year going and I'll be there from Thur to Sun. Aug 1st - 4th.
Camping on site at Camp Scholler as usual which in my opinion is the only way to do Oshkosh unless you fly in and get to camp under the wing of your plane. :-)
Anyway if your going to be there let me know and we can get together and shoot some planes together.

Cheers,
Chris

I guess none of you were there this year. It was a excellent show as usual. I have about 40 Gigs of pictures and as I find ones I like I will put them here.
I hope you like them too. :-) Comments and critiques are welcome.

Let's start off by saying hi to one of our own AZ residents Kirby Chambliss

Solid set of shots, Chris!

Jay Beckman was out there all week, but is still on the road coming back.  What's he's posted so far from his laptop has been pretty awesome, I'm sure he'll start posting shots from OSH once he gets back.

Oh man I wish I could have met up and shot some planes together. :-(
Looking forward to seeing his for sure.

"Missed It By That Much..."
Skip Stewart and Melissa Pemberton perform the opposing inverted ribbon cut during a "Tinstix" routine.  To the eye, they nailed it, but the camera proves they missed by a nanosecond crossing each other just north of the poles holding the ribbons.
