The EAA's AirVenture 2004 (formerly known as the Oshkosh Fly-In) starts today in Wisconsin. Be sure to check out my photos of past events: Oshkosh Fly-In, Oshkosh page 2, and Oshkosh page 3.

If you have any photos from previous events that you'd like to see on this site, send them in. Articles about your experiences there would be great, too. Send them to editor AT theinfrequentflyer.com

Also, if you are attending this year's fly-in, drop me a note and let me know how it is.

Here's a cool picture of an aircraft that flies in ground effect only (a few feet above the surface). Scroll down about halfway for the picture and the text in English.

I just moved the site to a new server. In theory, it should remain up while the servers around the world are updated with the new address. If not, please check back later, as all should be updated by July 28.

I've added a review of Turbulence to the aviation movie reviews section.

The FAA finally announced the new Sport Pilot and Light-Sport rules the other day.

Today I divided my Alaska photos in the Aviation Photo Gallery into 5 pages instead of 3, to make them smaller and faster-loading. The new pages are Glaciers 2 and Misty Fjords. Also check out the good-as-always Glaciers, Juneau, and Ketchikan pages.

I've added an Aviation News page, with the latest aviation headlines.

Interesting article today on whether airline crews may be exposed to too much radiation on the job.

Happy July 4th weekend, everyone. Don't fly through any fireworks.
