Default Oshkosh '06 Redux

Yep, Comscope has closed plants, and are half the size they used to be.
They are headquartered in Hickory. (HKY) That was where the F-86 went down,
off of an aborted takeoff, right before OSH. Pity. A real class guy and a
really fine plane. It was one of the best Sabers I have ever seen.


Please tell me it wasn't the Sabre with the "Batman" logo painted on
the side?

That's been my son's favorite plane since he was a toddler...
