Or anything that could have ruined your day. I have a couple, but for another day. I know this is one of those no sendun pictures, but if I can download it for desktop I don't see the problem. If not delete it.

There is no reason to panic! :)

This was a photo taken at Oshkosh, just as the LB-30/B-24A was pulling up and away, while conducting the missing man formation. The camera zoom/setup, makes it appear that the aircraft are much closer together than they really are. From the angle that I was watching it at the time, the bombers cleared each other by at least a hundred feet - it looks quite intriguing, seeing a big four-engine bomber peal away similar to a fighter. - It is an amazing photo however!

Yeah, I think I posted that picture back before the "big server crash".
There really are some good visitor pictures on EAA's Airventure site.
