Vickers Vimy

Arrived in Oshkosh this afternoon, enroute to Toronto, Ottawa, St John's, Newfie, then off for some Guinness in Clifden, Ireland, re-enacting Alcock & Brown's 1919 flight.

Fantastic looking plane. Must be quite the rigging nightmare...

Here's the website and schedule for those interested http://www.vimy.org/vimyatlantic/fli...ule/index.html

and this one http://www.vimy.org/vimyinfo/index.html

They hope to have 4 webcams running while they are flying across the Atlantic. Even if the navigator gets lost, we will all know where they are

Hope some of you 'high-flying' guys get to say hello on the radio to them while they are enroute.
