It's my Best Oshkosh Picture.

Wow! My new, stolen computer background!

Yeah, I know, it's not a sexy RV picture. But the moment I saw it, the moment I realized I had my inspiration for a "paint-and-polish" scheme for the RV-7A. One I can actually afford, even if it's a lot of work. Just replace the "195" with "RV-7A".

Wadda mean not as cool? The thread is best Oshkosh picture, not necessarily best airplane pictures.

The calm before or after the storm(s). My cheap tent fared pretty well.

I took some dawn pics over a sea of RVs in HBC ... I took in-flight pics of some beautiful warbirds ... I took pics of some beautiful RVs ...
