CoolPix: Classic Cessna 195's And Oshkosh Sunshine (2010)

(click pic for hi-res)

 Yesterday I posted that fab video from back in the day of Bob Hoover flying the Shrike Commander... and that had me thinking about the special day of recognition for him coming up this year at Oshkosh. And then today the EAA sent out a press release reminding us all that Oshkosh is now less than 100 days away. And so, I'm now experiencing my first OSH11 butterflies. That's what Oshkosh does to me - I get so excited about the thought of thousands of airplanes and hundreds of thousands of really nice people gathering together that I literally get all tingly inside.

 As a result of all this child-like happiness stirring inside me, I dug into last year's OSH pix and found one that makes me feel really good. It's a gorgeous line up of Cessna 195's (someone sharper than me can tell us all if there's any 190's in that line) - and if you click the pic you'll see it nice and big in AirPigz CoolPix style!

 I hope you enjoy the pic, and if you haven't committed to making the trip to Oshkosh this year, I'd like to suggest you get on that. It's simple little moments like the one I experienced when I took this pic that make Oshkosh the greatest place on earth : )
