Sun-N-Fun 2009 Review from PassionAviator by bryris
It was different this year. The feeling of it. I am not sure if it was merely the fact that the crowds were smaller, I cannot quite place my finger on it. However, I can say with surety that the numbers will be way down as compared to recent years. No doubt due to the economy, new found parking fees, cost of fuel, etc. ...

OSH Tower Waste Is Tragic By Russ Niles
... What I hate is that it was hauled to the dump like last week's trash. With only a tiny amount of imagination, something even I can muster, that building would have been a fundraising gold mine. How much would you pay for a souvenir brick? How about incorporating one of those giant pieces of glass into your house to frame your favorite view? Who knows what was left behind by the FAA that could have been a funky piece of memorabilia for someone for a good price?
And where could all this money have gone? How about Alan Henley's family? The family of leader of the Aeroshell team, injured in an accident at home last year, could certainly use it. EAA has plenty of good places it could go, like Young Eagles programs. Scholarships, grants to aviation projects, the list is long and important. ...
