Day 1: Oshkosh 2013, Part I

Day 1 dawned with a bit of overcast and a lot of pain…but what the heck, AIRPLANES!!! Parked at a museum lot, did some work at the table for a while, snapped a few pictures, then hobbled over to Innovations to scare people (I think my title is “EAA’s Quasimodo” this year).

Our booth is right by the Timeless Voices pavilion donated by the Wilson Family next to Hangar X and the flight simulator. We have a great view of Spaceship One.

Nice view, huh?

Despite lurching about the Innovations building like I was Dr. Frankenstein’s assistant looking for new acquisitions, I was able to land a few interviews for later in the week. Good to see John Nicol of MakerPlane was back:

As well as the fantastic electric Yuneec (“unique”) from China:

Will post a slideshow in a bit of the museum, for now, some more older Oshkosh images:
