I was lucky this year to visit the museum early on Sunday morning before anybody else had arrived. I had almost an hour to enjoy the museum and take vidio before anyone else arrived. It was great to be able to take the time to enjoy the presentatioins without a crowd around. It appears from your photos that you were able to enjoy the same experience. Thanks again for sharing with everyone. Bob Reed www.kisbuild.r-a-reed-assoc.com (KIS Builders Site) KIS Cruiser in progress...Slow but steady progress....

... A photo essay of my visit to the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture Museum has been posted at http://newenglandmodelengineeringsoc...008_2003/1.htm I seem to remember that from years ago, thanks for the memories. About the web page, is the right arrow supposed to be a dead link? Tim -- In the immortal words of Ned Flanders: "No foot longs!" Website @ http://webpages.charter.net/dawill/tmoranwms |

Tim and all: Sorry to be slow in responding. The right arrow as a dead link is a result of my sloppy page building. On the John W. Brown Liberty Ship series the arrow is the link. I don't quite know what happened but I am sure that it is my bad. Sorry. Errol On Fri, 22 Aug 2003 22:23:09 -0500, "Tim Williams" wrote: "Errol Groff" wrote in message .. .

A photo essay of my visit to the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture Museum has been posted at http://newenglandmodelengineeringsoc...008_2003/1.htm Errol Groff Hey Errol! I see you've sort of adopted my "Oshkosh Scrapbook" format as per our emails last year. Here are some corrections and comments. 1) The background color on pages 1 and 3 defaults to my browser's default background color while the rest of the pages have a white background. 2) Your left arrows are disabled and your right arrow links are broken. Perhaps the easiest fix is to simply remove the arrows from your presentation. 3) The biplane on page 3 is an exact flying replica of the Laird Super Solution in which Jimmy Doolittle won the 1931 Bendix Trophy race and set a new cross country record. The replica was completed in December of 2000 after more than 10,000 man-hours of work over a 2 1/2 year period. 4) The jet on page 5 is the Williams V-Jet II. Here is a link to more info, http://www.lerc.nasa.gov/WWW/AST/GAP/wi0697.htm and here is some inside poop -- Rutan didn't like the V tail and thought a single vertical stab would be better but the plane was a marketing tool for Williams engines and had to look snazzy so Williams insisted on a V tail. 5) Page 12. The name of the character in the James Bond flick is "Pussy Galore". The name of the *plane* is "Pushy Galore". 6) Page 13. "Loving's Love" was designed and built between 1947 and 1951 as a pylon racer by Neal Loving, a black man. Neal lost both of his legs in an airplane crash in 1944 but used prostheses. After completing his "Love" in 1951, Neal began racing it in the National Air Races. Neal would later fly the plane from Detroit to Jamaica and back. The plane in the museum is Loving's original. A few other Loving's Loves have been built but only one remains flying today. Cheers, David O -- http://www.AirplaneZone.com -- Still working on this year's Oshkosh Scrapbook |

(M.A.S.H. Sidney Freedman) I broke down and sold my Nova 1200 at the sidewalk sale in Dallas a few years ago. Still have the Imsai 8080 and several PDP11's as well as newer Osborne and Compaq portable 1's. I just cant seem to clear it out. At least I got rid of all the Model 33 Teletype machines when I built a CRT terminal. Jim Stockton |
