I’ve always wanted to go to the EAA Airventure show but I’ve never had the chance - or really never carved out the time to go. SO, since work has been slow and I seem to have plenty of vacation days still left, I decided to head up this year. These are some of the videos I took with my digital camera. The quality isn’t that great and I didn’t bring a tripod, but they are still pretty good videos.
