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.
Yeah, they have some special rules for the airport during EAA. They have thousands of planes coming and going and only 2 strips. NS and EW. It's the busiest airport in the world for a week. My house is a block away from the airport in line with the NS strip.

That Royal Enfield thing didn't have 1 single redeeming quality. It dropped about 3 inches when I sat on it.

Scored some free baseball tickets this morning on the way to work from a local radio station.
