Jack arriving at Oshkosh in Cotton Candy |
You'll note the personal attention |
Of course few others were there |
|
|

|
Still... The TV crew was waiting |
They were there almost as soon as Jack |
Getting wired for the interview |
Ready for Air Time
Jack was always ready to pitch in and help, but he tried to
keep from getting too close
as is seen in helping start a reluctant Lancair 320

Yours truly after the first time at the controls of the "Cuda" |
The "Cuda" even served as portable shade at times. (Man, It was
hot that day!)
Under the wing are the
three youngsters who won the "Kids to Oshkosh" trip
sponsored by Midland's EAA
Chapter 1093.

No mater what else was around Cotton Candy always drew onlookers |

Jack was always an early arrival at Oshkosh |
Of course the "Welcome Wagon" was there! |
Now! How the Devil does that gear operate? |

Comparing the sleek lines of the GP-4 to a Cessna 172 at the pumps |
I think Jack adjusted the dimensions so a head-set would just clear |
