Each year up to 10,000 visiting aircraft - of all shapes, sizes and varieties - make Oshkosh the busiest airport in the world. This gigapan was shot Saturday morning. It only has a few bad spots in the stitching caused by people walking in front of the lens.
This shot includes: f-16 , falcon , f-15 , c5m galaxy , c-17 globemaster iii , c-130 , erickson sky crane , dc-3 named “duggy” , cv-2b caribou , p-51 mustang , a-10 thunderbolt , f4u corsair, e-2c hawkeye, ford tri-motor, b-17 flying fortress, pitts model 12, gulf stream to name a few. This was a fantastic event and had so many amazing aricraft new and old. I will be posting some videos from the event on youtube.com including the A380 taking off from Oshkosh 2009. I hope you enjoy and please email with comments! http://www.airventure.org/ |

The RAF's XXV (Fighter) Squadron is due to disband on 4th April 2008 and, as part of this, held a Friends of XXV (F) Squadron Day. This is the main line-up of visiting aircraft from a similar position to the line-up 1 Gigapan, but looking northwards. The interesting clouds are the precursor to heavy rain which arrived a few hours later. In shot are various aircraft including (from right to left) the tailplanes of a Phantom, Tucano, Dominie, Tornado, the blue Falcon 20, and then four more Tornados. All the Gigapans of the main aircraft line-up are now uploaded - all the panoramas show some noise as an ISO of 400 was needed to cope the windy conditions outdoors! |

While waiting for the Super Shuttle to pick me up after the last week's Gigapan Fine Outreach for Science workshop in Pittsburgh, I noticed a Peregrine falcon circling the Cathedral of Learning and just couldn't resist. |

In a snapshot, a falcon is seen banking out of a turn to fly straight at this GigaPanographer. A few blocks away are a few swans, but I was not aware of any other bird types until I saw this beautiful bird in flight. Two words... big and amazing and I was able to capture it as this scene unfolded. Note: This panorama was stitched from 37 photos taken with a Nikon D70 and aNikkor 18-70mm kit lens. The overall focus could have been a tad better, but the photos themselves were NEF or RAW converted to 300 dpi JPG files and then stitched with Stitcher version 0.4.4087 with the result that in the *Thinking* snapshot you can easily see the bike wheel spokes at a good distance from the camera lens. |

The RAF's XXV (Fighter) Squadron is due to disband on 4th April 2008 and, as part of this, held a Friends of XXV (F) Squadron Day. This is the south east end of the main line-up of visiting aircraft, showing here the Tucano trainer of 76(R) Squadron, a Dominie of No 55(R) Squadron at the RAF College Cranwell, (where they are used to train weapon systems officers and operators, air engineers and air loadmasters in systems management, air leadership, decision making and teamwork) and a German Tornado. A couple more Gigapans of the main aircraft line-up will be uploaded over the next few days - all the panoramas will show some noise as an ISO of 400 was needed to cope the windy conditions outdoors! |

Here is a second much smaller Oshkosh WI Air show panoramic. The one on the left was shot from the Canon viewing stand.
It includes: Airbus A380, F-16, Virgin Galactic “Eve” Mothership, Erickson sky crane , dc-3 named “duggy” , cv-2b caribou , p-51 mustang, just to name a few. This was a fantastic event and had so many amazing aricraft new and old. I will be posting some videos from the event on youtube.com including the A380 taking off from Oshkosh 2009.
