OSHKOSH - The Biggest Air Show on Earth
I was so desperate to get to Oshkosh that the show actually came to meet me, 20 miles before getting there. One of the war planes from the show had to do an emergency landing right on the road (Hwy 41 N.) I was using. Although the plane managed to land on a busy road with lots of electric cables going across it, the pilot dodged the cables and landed safely! No one was hurt. Too bad the cops didn't let us stop for a picture... Anyway, here are a few of the pictures from the actual air show. I’ll post comments about these pictures later.
OSHKOSH - El show aereo mas grande del planeta
Estaba tan desesperado de llegar a Oshkosh que mas bien el show vino a mi, 20 millas antes de llegar alla. Uno de los aviones de guerra del show tuvo que hacer un aterrizaje de emergencia justo ahi en la autopista(Hwy 41 N.) que yo estaba usando. Aunque el avion aterizo en una carretera muy ocupada, con muchos cables electricos atravezandola, el piloto evito los cable y aterizo bien! Nadie salio herido. Que pena que los policias no nos dejaron parar para tomar fotos... De todas maneras, aqui estan algunas fotos del show.
A nice guy I met at the show. He is now retired and enjoys flying his homebuilt KR-2 with a Wolkswagen engine.
The sun was hitting hard so I had to create some shade by placing the motorcycle cover between the motorcycle and the tent. That was the only way to get a cool breeze.

That was the only way to get a cool breeze.Estaba haciendo un sol muy fuerte y tuve que crear una sombra colocando el covertor de la motocicleta desde la moto hasta la carpa. Esa era la unica manera de obtener una brisa fria.

This picture is part of a series of pictures that form a spheric panorama. I'll post the finished panorama once I get back home.
