Homebuilt, Vintage, Ultralights & Warbird Aircraft - Oshkosh Fly-in Photo Book

Spud's notes: Even though its not about cars, I think you would enjoy this pictorial review of the Worlds Largest fly-in called "AirVenture". If you have never attended I would highly suggest you put it on your bucket list of things to do!

You're invited to EAA AirVenture - a weeklong air show so packed with aircraft that for one week Oshkosh's control tower is the busiest in the world.

Every year the skies over Oshkosh, Wisconsin, rumble with the sound of aircraft engines. It's the annual EAA AirVenture, a gathering of aviation enthusiasts like no other. The week long airshow is sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) - an international organization based in Oshkosh - and is the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. EAA Oshkosh showcases the many types of aircraft that have appeared there and even offers a glimpse of the lively crowds and campgrounds.

At EAA AirVenture, hundreds of thousands of aircraft enthusiasts flock to the Wittman Regional Airport to gawk at an amazing collection of all things airborne. From handsome old canvas-covered biplanes to brawny warbirds to home-built models to massive jetliners, the traffic in the air and on the runway make the Wittman's control tower in tiny Oshkosh the busiest in the world. It's an adventure to be sure, and the highlights are all here. Organized according to aircraft types, EAA Oshkosh features:

- Warbirds

- Vintage aircraft

- Home-built aircraft

- Seaplanes

- Ultralights - EAA firsts (i.e., the F-35, all of Burt Rutan, the SR-71, etc.)

Drawing on the EAA's photo archive dating back to 1953, EAA Oshkosh brims with fascinating stories, history, and photography. Paging through it is the next best thing to actually attending the show!

Nissan NV3500 passenger van promises quiet and safety

Thu, 10 Nov 2011

Early this year Nissan introduced a full-sized commercial panel van that's offered in two flavors -- standard and tall; as in, you can walk around the interior. So it was just a matter of time until Nissan targeted the hotel shuttle and church bus crowd with a windowed passenger model using that platform. First impression is that Nissan's windowed van is a very credible competitor for a segment that has been dominated by the Ford E-series and the Chevrolet Express, and to a lesser degree by the GMC Savana and Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter.

Skoda BlueSport Roadster looking likely

Sun, 15 Mar 2009

Skoda looks likely to build a version of the VW BlueSport Concept - The Skoda Roadster. At the time we reported, we thought thought that Skoda’s image might be a little too down-market still for this little Roadster. We thought it more likely that Audi and VW would be the main producers, and maybe Porsche, as an entry-level model.

Saturn has interested buyers, GM says

Fri, 06 Mar 2009

Saturn is attracting interest from a "few" parties that might want to acquire the brand, a General Motors spokesman said Thursday. GM has hired Steve Girsky, formerly senior auto analyst for Morgan Stanley, to help advise on any possible Saturn deals. Saturn spokesman Steve Janisse said, "There is interest from investors in doing a spinoff, and there are other entities interested in just buying it." He said he does not know whether the interested parties are other automakers.
