Far fewer people here now for some reason #OSH23

Photo of the MiG-23 that crashed today at Thunder of Michigan that I took at #OSH23 (unedited photos as i have not gotten to it yet)

For those of you who do not have other social media, you can find my photos from #OSH23 on Flickr. Follow me there and check back occasionally as I will be adding more. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAPZAL

#OSH23 wasn't my best photo year but I sure had fun. You can look through what I brought back here... but only if you like WAY too many guppy photos. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAPNn8
here are a couple of samples:

Wow!!!!
The #EAA #OSH23 numbers are fully in and they are huge

Wow! What a big year. Can’t wait to hear about camp sites and aircraft movements. #OSH23

#AirstreamSERENITY successfully recovered from Oshkosh. Reset, and ready for it’s next adventure. #OSH23 #OSH24

Still one of the most wild Burt Rutan designs out there. #OSH23

F-35 Lightning II towards the end of the daytime air show. #OSH23 #shotoniphone

Polaris Program's MiG 29. It didn't join the rest of their squadron for the first demo, sadly and it ended up taxiing back to the north part of the airport.

I did a little cropping and "magic wand" button-ing in the macOS Photos app and here are some results.

First up, the Lockheed Constellation. First time I ever saw one of these in person. Beautiful airplane.

The Raptor is a photogenic beast. #OSH23 #shotoniphone

New UCAP Daily episode "Flying with The Ninety-Nines" is posted. Guest: Leslie Prellwicz #OSH23 http://uncontrolledairspace.com/shownotes/UCAP1076E @burnsidej @jackhodgson

Got to see one of my favorite airplanes at #OSH23 today!

Some wonderful fireworks last night at #OSH23

Heads up #OSH23, red is bad…

Hopefully will stay to the north. If current trajectory holds, KATW might be in the path.

Yeah, it’s busy at #OSH23

Fisk just said they are “not taking any new aircraft unless you are currently in a hold.”

Ouch.

#OSH23 traffic is crazy right now. Tons of departures, and Fisk is backed up holding at Puckaway Lake and Endeavor.

This is ATC at their finest.

Looks like a stormy night is “possibly” on tap for #OSH23. NWS issued a severe TS watch for next 4 hours. This one looks pretty nasty (see red icons in screenshot? Those are tornadoes).

Storm tracks have it moving pretty much N-NE, but overall system seems to be creeping south towards the show grounds.

Please, if you are tent camping, watch your phone carefully and prepare to bolt for the barns if this ends up at the field.
