Today was our third and final day at the Oshkosh Airventure. Having seen most of the booths we went through the 'Fly Market' section. It is very similar to a flea market but of course oriented to the 'flying crowd'. We saw many booths or tents with people selling airplane oriented T-shirts, DVDs, memorabilia, tools, nuts, bolts, carved wooden signs, hammocks, whirligigs for your garden, mattresses, jewelry, plus much, much more. Rich bought a digital caliper, LED work light some wire with alligator clip ends. We also picked up some souvenirs such as T-shirts, coffee mug, and I got a charm for our boat necklace. We also gotta Go Pro camera for the boat.
In the afternoon we watched another air show which included the only flying B-29. There was an F-18 that did low passes down the field, more parachutists and aerial aerobatics. The most interesting was the mock re-enactment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor with plenty of noise, smoke and fire.
Tomorrow we will be adieu to Oshkosh and over 25,000 airplanes and make our way back west.
