| One of the neat things about bringing your plane to AirVenture is that you get to fly in front of a crowd! My plane category flew twice a day, morning and afternoon. I however, only flew in the afternoon because I was lodging off the AirVenture grounds. While at AirVenture I flew almost four hours! |

| Oh Man! Can't you just tell that I am one happy pilot who is glad to be in "Osh". |
| Even though my plane took a number of "hits" (4 in the fuselage) from The Red Baron, my evasive tatics were successful. I made it! |
| All the planes on display, like this B-17, are in pristine condition. What a sight! Is this an "antique" AirBike pilot? |
| Even though my plane is EXPERIMENTAL, it fits in better with thjose in the ultralight area. That is Ken Bauer's Lindberg Trophy winner parked to my left. |
| It is a rare opportunity to walk right up to the warbirds like this Skyraider. It is even more exciting to feel their propwash as they taxi out to do their show passes! |
| Camping in the YMCA's air conditioned soccer arena was the best deal going. $20 bought space for two people, one tent, and full access to the Y's facilities for one night. Contact them at: [email protected] For an extra $5/day an all-you-can-eat well-balanced breakfast is available. |

| Extracted from the ice in Greenland, Glacier Girl flies again. What a beauty! Some of you may remember seeing pieces of this plane during AirVenture '91. |
| Ken Bauer from Marinettet, WI displayed his prize winning TEAM plane. His plane won the Lindberg Trophy! |
