EAA Fly-In (AirVenture) & Experimental Aircraft
YAY, I attended the 2009 EAA Fly-In -- my first! I'm opening this lens to tell about it...and keep up with future shows and with all types of experimental aircraft.
This lens is here to collect information, links, pics and vids about the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), experimental aircraft, and air shows, especially the Oshkosh, WI fly-in on this lens.
I have also opened Airbus A380 and WhiteKnight2-SpaceShip2 lenses!
Visit my Science (SciTech) and Destination lensographies too.

Airshow folks ponder the wonders of Virgin Galactic's New Space Ship
A spaceship that fits between WhiteKnight2's two fuselages can boost several private 'astronauts' into the black sky and weightlessness, 53,000 feet high!
