When I was a kid and this show was in Rockford ill. I got to take a ride in the trimotor when she was in her original Ford colors.That was a great way to grow up, my version of summercamp each year till I went in the U.S.C.G. . Last time I went was 78 for my honeymoon with my first wife. My Mom was the U.S. rep for Jurka Air and she took us in her custom camper van while I was on leave.We had a blast.
@pinwizz69 Under most circumstances you would be correct, but it is in fact a homebuilt airplane. I saw the same one when I was walking around Oshkosh and when I got to talking to its owner I learned he built the thing. The floats on the wings (if I remember correctly) fold outward and become the wing tips. The airplane is also made of composite material, wereas a Grumman is not. With all that I know about the airplane from talking to its owner I cannot for the life of me remember its name

Well done recording the flyovers. Those gazillion RVs held their formation really well, a joy to watch live and in this vid.
