Oshkosh 2006 Pix, at last!

Nope!

The Hay's brothers ( the owners of the Ornithopter ) closed their machine
shop and retired and it was to costly to bring any more. (EAA would not cut
them a break in pricing). I will miss them as well......!!

I didn't think it was worth starting a new thread for this question...

I was wondering if the EAA Ornithopter was running at Oshkosh? Did it
operate when I just wasn't around, or did it not come out? I think the
event needs more of those silly things like that and Jerry's One Man Band.
It puts something back on the human scale side of the show against all the
military and corporate exhibits.

What a shame. My kids have literally grown up with that silly
ornithopter flapping around OSH every July, and both of them (ages 12
and 15) asked "Where's that goofy thing?" at various times during the
week.
