Default Oshkosh Pictures and The Story of The Missing Picture

Hai and Rick,
Don't let a single landing event diswade you from coming back to OSH, there
are plenty of alternative airports a short distance from OSH. Some have
daily shuttles and offer on airport camping, it's just a matter of planning.

Jim,
Most of the pics was shot with the Nikon D50 with an old 24-120mm
lens (we were on the 6-month waiting list for the 18-200mm VR DX lens).
Some of the shots were with the Panasonic PV-GS300 camcorder (not
great but convenient).

Rick's ankle pretty much wore out by the third day at Oshkosh and we
had a full traveling agenda so Wednesday morning departure sounded like
a good idea. After his suspenseful landing event at Oshkosh (had to go
around to avoid pancaking an experimental plane which missed his orange
dot and slowed to get off the runway to allow us to land on our green
dot), I'm not sure whether I can talk Rick to go back to Osh. However,
he is game to go to SnF so that we can say "been there, done that" ;-)
