Izzo - Last nite was watching landings at Oshkosh on Yahoo (streaming channel on TV) and noticed as many as 4 planes would be using the runway simultaneously, some touched down before the plane they were following. Never heard of that before, when I was flying, heard the tower call for a go around more than once on the following plane getting too close. Special rules for Oshkosh? Are you close enough to see them land?

Some of those guys sure didn't make landings to be proud of, though I could see that it was windy. Lot of neat looking planes, and some beautifully restored warbirds. Somebody collapsed the gear on a Rutan design canard plane, bet they don't have many years without some scratches.

Yup. Never intend on shooting it so might as well bring it back to the way it was. Around $75 for a front wood kit.

My best friend bought a Royal Enfield about 8 years ago. Had it a week before he sold it. What a piece of crap.

Yea it's not a shooter. Grandpa traded for it while in Europe during the war. Was his hunting rifle.

I don't mean the rifle. I'd love to own one.
I meant the Indian built POS Motorcycle.

I can't believe 3 people pile up those things and ride around.
I went around the block on it and it felt like it was about to throw a piston rod.
