LOCUSTS!

The other day, I happened to be driving on the eastern side of Wisconsin. While approaching the metropolis of Oshkosh, the sky darkened dramatically. However, there was not a cloud in the sky.

As I carefully glanced upward, I could see at least 20 large objects flying in the sky in what is best described as aerial chaos. Welcome to the world of the Experiemental Aircraft Association's annual AirVenture (http://www.airventure.org/about/index.html). Objects in the sky that I could see in one quick glance included helicopters, fighter jets, WWII bombers, flying parachutes, small planes and others. I am always amazed at how the air traffic controllers can contain this aerial chaos.

I wish all the EAA fly-in participants a safe event.
