AirVenture 2006

AirVenture 2006 was another great experience. Once again, I flew in the AirVenture Cup Race this time, with my father as copilot.

These pictures give a glimpse of the sights to be had at the airshow and capture just a little bit of the fun and excitement of our own experiences. Looking forward to 2007! See you all there!
