[Spridgets] EAA Air Show

[David Lieb]

Larry sure throws a great party! Trish and I drove the Bugeye up to Oshkosh 
yesterday for the fabulous Daniels Brothers EAA Air Show. Great seats and a 
good show to go with a good potluck and lots of good people to talk with. We 
brought a couple friends from the Miata club, since my buddy with the 78 
Midget was not available. We took the scenic route up by way of Alden and 
Walworth and the Kettle Moraine, although I opted for the direct route home. 
Good thing, cuz Trish was getting a trifle chilly long before we got home 
even as it was.

We got there in time to tour the Fox Cities All British Car Club facilities. 
Too bad it is so far away from Palatine... What a place! 4-post lift, 2-post 
lift, tools, bar, lounge, game room, ad nauseum.

Interesting air show. F22 Raptor (I am told -- what would I know) that was 
doing some crazy drifting and insane noise. A rocket plane that had the most 
incredible acceleration straight up. Bombers dropping some kind of 
incendiary devices. Aerobatics teams. Skydivers. Just glad I diodn't have to 
pay to refill any of those tanks! I posted a few shots at

We could not have asked for better weather for a 360-mile road trip and 
party. Thanks, Larry!
