Day 2 at AirVenture


AirVenture opened to a first day attendance of over 200,000. The weather could not have been better, it was warm and sunny all day and not a cloud in the sky, perfect for an airshow. This guy tried all day to get this thing off the ground, but never succeeded. The craft below had better luck.


The huge converted Boeing 747 called the “Dream Lifter” arrived late Monday afternoon for a 24 hour appearance. The Dream Lifter is a converted Boeing 747-400 designed to transport major assemblies of the “Boeing 787 Dream Liner”, the next generation “Jumbo Jet”. The Dream Lifter can hold more cargo than any other plane in the world.



Mr. Jack Roush owner of Roush Racing as well as Roush Performance Products. A racing legend.

Another happening today was the appearance of race car building legend Jack Roush owner of Roush Racing. Mr. Roush, a former Ford engineer, established Roush Performance Products in 1988 http://www.roushperformance.com/. The company produced after market performance products mainly for Ford Mustangs. Mr. Roush spent some time signing autographs and having pictures taken with many of the AirVenture goers. Like me :-)
