(FARGO, ND 238P CST) I've met up with the crew of Duggy, who all have the last name of Odegaard. Their family complex at the airport in Kindred, ND is quite interesting, with parts and pieces of all sorts of exotic flying machines everywhere you look. Is that a R-4360 Wasp Major radial engine over in the corner? And they have enough P-51 wings hanging from jigs in various stages of restoration that if you could bolt them all back together, you could launch a minor assault on a small country ...

WINTER HAVEN - The EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., is an event that draws hundreds of thousands of aviation enthusiasts each year but it is particularly near and dear to Winter Haven pilots Liz and Jonathan Amundsen, who not only spent their second date at the annual event in 1999 but also their honeymoon six years later.

Dayton Air Show from Business Aviation Now
Former Business & Commercial Aviation Feature Writer Dan Manningham visited the Dayton Air Show in last week at the Dayton International Airport and sent me a few words about the show. (Thanks for the insight, Dan)

The Show has evolved into a mostly vicarious event with little or no business and commercial aviation participation. It has become a family affair for aviation fans of military and extreme aerobatic performances.
Nevertheless, many of the aircraft on display are responsible for later development into aircraft widely used in  ...
