Simviation Forum - EAA Airventure Meuseum (part 1)

Here are some pics I took yesterday at the EAA Airventure meuseum. The first is of me in a RV6A that I got to fly! The next 2 are of a Travel Air giving rides and the last 2 are of a Ford Tri-Moter giving rides. The Tri-Moter is the last one left in the world still flying. It was a treat to watch. All these pics are from the Pioneer Airport right next to KOSH. Check it out in FS9. I might post more pics of vintage planes in the hangers later.

Hi Ben, The path is case-sensitive including the file extension. I don't know why if you used IrfanView to save them but yours have a .JPG extension, NOT the lower-case .jpg. For example: TravelAir2.JPG

Here's the first one. I'll leave you to fix the others.

I see you figured it out. Fix them all then I'll remove mine.

These are excellent shots Ben. Thanks for posting them. Grin

No. They're fine as they are. Check the path in image #4. Delete it & start again. Make sure there are no spaces between the brackets. The path is http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/Tri-Moter2.JPG

Nice Pictures, may have to have a closer look at a Trimotor one day - an interesting aeroplane.

Yes it is. Its a cool livery. That Tri-Moter stays there year round. You can take rides in it for $35 for adults or if your uner 17 its only $25 and its a 15 minute ride. I was so surprised how quickly it got off the ground! Its just a small grass strip runway. Whithin seconds the tail is up and seconds more and its off. What a sight to see. Shocked

Yes it was quite fun. And I got to do it for free! Anyone beetween the ages of 8-17 can ride for free if they have pilots availible. Its just a volenteer thing.
