My father used to pack us up and head out to Milwaukee's General Billy Mitchell Field Airport to just watch the planes come in and out. We'd then head to the lounge for a drink and talk airplanes. (We of course had the root-beers.)
I don't miss EAA's Airventure. It's one of the finest things we have going in Wisconsin, and something not to be missed.
Have you been?
Some of the best people I know are pilots.
One of the funniest examples of pilot humor occurred a few years ago. A buddy of mine, who's a pilot, was helping out at the local airport doing the Public address announcements. He then made the announcement that a Stealth Bomber was going to buzz the field. (We were in on the joke...) Everyone grabbed their cameras and headed to the fence to get a good picture. Well... I am sure you've figured it out that these people were had. At the precise moment he says,"Here it comes.... and it's gone."
Fortunately everyone was in good humor that day.
No, but it's in my bucket list! :)
