Caption Contest #67 Winner(s) - Split Decision!
Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 08:22AM 
The short and sweet story is that we had a tie in the Caption Contest voting, so we've got two OSH12 bacon sandwich winners! The winner above is from 'Tican', and the winner below is from 'Victorinox' - congrats to you both! And thanx to everyone else for playing along : )
If you don't already know, the airplane here is one of the Goodyear Inflatoplanes which explains why the wings are bent a little with these fine fellows standing on them. With no internal structure to damage, the wings just popped back into position after this extreme external load was removed. The Inflatoplane was a really interesting mid 1950's concept that did work, but obviously it never really caught on. You can learn more in this Fiddlers Green article.
And, there'll be more of this avgeek tomfoolery coming your way on a random Monday morning before long - watch for it.
