110_clouds_and_sign

Welcome to Oshkosh Airventure. I took this picture because I liked the clouds, but little did I know what this convective activity would do to the trip home.

013_biplane_beluga

It was kind of hard to miss the Airbus Beluga anywhere near Aeroshell Square. I like this because it looks like the jet powered Waco was going to land underneath it.

014_baby_beluga

A good view of the Beluga.

015_cricri_beluga

One of the planes the Beluga brought from France is the CriCri (Cricket), which is supposedly the smallest twin engine ultralight made. I've seen pictures elsewhere of one that has two turbine engines (probably converted APUs).

048_beluga_open

Beluga again, this time with the main door open.

015_nasa_u2

One of NASA's ER-2, which is a civil version of the U-2.

016_nasa_f18

NASA's F-18. This one is being used for experiments with a thin warpable wing.

021_aerobatic_team_1

There aren't too many precision aerobatic teams at Oshkosh. This one caught my eye before I realized that my lens was too short for taking good pictures of the airshow.

022_aerobatic_team_2

Here they are again.
