My dad pointed me to a very nice AirVenture photo essay posted at http://silvairehair2.home.comcast.net/072806/. Some very nice aerial imagery from their trip and around the grounds at Oshkosh AirVenture 2006.
Amazing things are being done with Google Earth. We discovered a worldwide realtime METAR feed today.
Provided by the National Center for Atmospheric Research, it maps the Aviation Digital Data Service’s (ADDS) database of over 3000 world METAR reporting stations to Google Earth. Observation data is updated every 5 minutes and they have adopted a symbol set reminiscent of older paper weather charts to quickly convey current conditions at each airport.
Download the Google KMZ file HERE.

Our CH-701, N701ST has had quite a life in photos- including features in EAA Experimenter, Water Flying, and other online and print venues. The latest is the August 2006 issue of the EAA Sport Pilot magazine in an article about light seaplanes. Great shot of Sarah and Larry out for some fun during AirVenture 2005.
