Oshkosh: a three paper special.

I noticed this on AvWeb. Interesting that whilst the CASA is foisting a so-called drug management plan upon the Australian aviation industry, the Americans seem to have a more relaxed attitude to such matters:

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration July 27 - August 2 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin This year is too BIG to miss. Literally. Witness the world's largest airliner the Airbus A380; see the first world public debut of Virgin Galactic's WhiteKnightTwo; attend appearances by the U.S. Airways Flight 1549 cockpit crew; and enjoy performances by the Doobie Brothers on opening day

Maybe they could get Willie Nelson along to champion the cause, possibly Tom Petty could sing 'Learning to Fly' as well. It will all make for high excitement again no doubt.

Airbus?

It's funny them tooting on about the Airbus. Last year when the 747 Dreamlifter was on display they were talking about the "competition" and "other airline manufacturer", they simply wouldn't say the word Airbus. It's a great airshow but I'd love to know a bit more of the politics that run deeper throughout the whole thing!
