I believe my sister was actually there!  She works for a firm that has designed and built a brand-new aerobatic machine.  Their initial development was at an old bomber base in sunny Lincolnshire, but the manufacturing will take place in the States.  She went over there to help oversee the transfer and attended Oshkosh on the trade side of things.

Wow.......Some machine......Seems to have a very low wing loading and huge balanced elevator......Clearly very agile....Would like to have seen a huge Union Jack somewhere in the paint scheme.

When are you getting a ride Ted?

Sadly I think I've missed my chance to utilise the brown paper bag.  As to the Union Jack, the pilot/designer is, I think, German, and the owner of the whole shebang is "Mr Walmart" - hence the move to Arkansas - so a British flag unlikely.

I'm late to the party, as usual, but great pix Bounder.  Thanks for the posting.  One year I hope to make it there.  And congrats to Ted's sister and Bluey's digital nun...

It's only 499,000 USD BD....... That's in standard fit without sheepskin seat covers......It wasn't that long ago when you could buy a MK V Spit for that.....However, I guess you cannot compare the two and with a small market the development costs would have to be recovered in a small number of sales.
