Just a couple of leftovers from Oshkosh which I haven't seen in this forum yet. These are some of the stranger aircraft that I saw there.

Called the "Sherpa", looks more like a Cub on steriods.

I've never seen this before. Can you identify it?? Here's a clue, it didn't use to be a single engine airplane.

Don't know what this was.

And finally if you have enough money for your own L-39, why not spring for a custom paint job as well. "Pimp my ride", Oshkosh style.

Can't wait for next year.

Ok Firstly Nice shots,

Secondly:
N341TP is a SPEARMAN model 341.
Not sure on the other two though.

4PF is a kitplane called the Comp Air 7... it's got a Walter turboprop; lots and lots of power; great STOL design but also reportedly a pretty respectable cross-country machine, too. Cool baggage pod on the belly.
And that L-39 is wicked hot. I think I need one, right now.

Very interesting. I found that overgrown Cub clone here. http://www.sherpaaircraft.com/models/models.html

Joking aside, it looks like a very useful aircraft.

Very nice shots Wink

By any chance did you happen to see any new Sea Planes or Flying Boats this year and did you get shots of them?

Again thanks for posting them.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I've seen those crazy long noses before, in fact, they are biz jets (cant remember name) and there is some sort of radar thingo built into the nose. The USAF uses them, if I remember correctly.

Nice shots by the way!
