Bruce fell in love with this motorglider. I bet he owns one someday.
He does look pretty good in it.

|
||||
| Now this would be seriously fun. A Trike on floats. Oh yeah. | ||||
|
||||
| One of the truly great planes in history: the Jenny. I believe this one was built from scratch. The builder did a fantastic job. It must be so much fun flying this around and taking it to fly-ins. | ||||
|
||||
| Another of the great planes in aviation history. I've seen B-17s before but not this nice. It was a showplane! | ||||
|
||||
| A Reno racer. They do a simulated Reno air race during the airshow with this Corsair, a Mustang, a Bearcat and a Sea Fury. I like it. It's not a bonifide race but it gives you the idea. | ||||
|
||||
| Now here is one serious fighter: the Air Force F-15 Eagle. I saw one over Iceland once from a Navy P-3 Orion. It was screaming down in a descending turn: incredible. | ||||

| The center of AirVenture 2004. | ||||
|
||||
| Looking North. You can see the control tower on the left. | ||||
|
||||
| We always go over and check out the Ultralights. This is a 3/4(?) scale Jenny. Probably would be as much to fly around as the real thing. | ||||
