Vectren Dayton Airshow 2010 - Saturday from Airspeed
I spent yesterday at the first show day of the Vectren Dayton Airshow. Probably the largest show I'll hit this year other than Oshkosh. Really well laid out and very nice facilities for media. I'm grateful to the organizers for the access that made this a great first experience at Dayton.
As usual, I get pulled in many different directions at these things. In the best way. To a large extent, what I see from the crowd line has more to do with what other opportunities I'm covering on the field. It might take five or six shows before I get to see all of the performers that performed at any given show site. But that's okay. ...

OSHplanner.com - Fantastic Oshkosh 'Events' Planning App from Airpigz
If you're gonna be at Oshkosh 2010 for more than a day or two, you should definitely look into using the just-launched free application called OSHplanner. It's an essential compliment to eaaapps.org, the official EAA site designed to help you schedule the forums, speakers and other events you'll want to be sure to get in on at OSH10. What makes OSHplanner so much more useful is its ability to point out all the conflicting events you've selected and help you resolve those conflicts. More important, it specifically takes into account the fact that some events are offered at different times on different days… and OSHplanner does the thinking to make sure you have the greatest chance of seeing all you want.  ...
