Rick -- as a kid from northern Wisconsin, my Dad took me to Oshkosh ... what I thrill. For those who have never witnessed this spectacular display of all kinds of aircraft, the Oshkosh AirVenture 2015 dates: Monday, July 20 - Sunday, July 26.

This is something you will NEVER forget! TAZ

Went there for many years as a boy camping all week. Got my first airplane ride ever in a Ford Tri-motor. Still have the picture. Nothing quite like it.

What's the difference, all airline coach seats suck now. Flying today is like riding a Greyhound buss 50 years ago... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sick.gif[/img]

That was Herb Kelleher's intent when he launched Southwest. He thought people moving around Texas would get off of the bus and onto a 737. It worked.

less flights, more seats on board. No wonder the airlines are turning a profit for the first time in like forever. Consumer sacrificed again, want to be comfortable.? pay up!

Pretty cool they finally took any mothballed air craft and flew it out of the bone yard! The fact it was a B-52 is a bit cooler to me. And the Russian's are still running old turbo props around England these days.

Who hasn't walked an old junk yard and thought about being able to put a car back on the road with the parts available? Same thing, right?
