Thanks much for doing this for those of us who could not be there!
Thanks for this- love the paint scheme on the first one. Glad to see Jeff’s bird there, too!
Thank you for sharing photos for all of us that couldn’t make it!
Great pictures Bryan. Congrats on the race results. 145 mph in a two-place VW powered aircraft sets a pretty high bar.

Thanks Wes! I’m trying to lure some more Sonex people to compete, both VW and Corvair which are all in the same class. @daleandee @JKS
I’m not sure what class the Jabiru and Rotax guys would be in, but if at least 3 show up they will make a class. The reason to do it is fun and fellowship, more than the trophies and adoration of the flying world.
Hi bryan, all,
Thanks for posting the photos of sonex planes on osh flightline.
The silver polished corvair sonex built by james zuege N473JZ
won a lindy award for workmanship.
Congrats!

Not for me my friend … I’m no air racer, I barely made the pilot part. ![]()

3.0 Corvair/tailragger
My mentor’s description of AVC: we fly a little, then come back and drink beer, eat food, and tell lies. It’s really just a cross country flight. They have no-penalty fuel stops, where you can also take care of other needs, like if you can’t fly for 4 hours straight.
Somebody caught my departure in this video, at 20:40 or so.
Although he cut out my taxi and used some horrible AI photo for the thumbnail.
I’m game.
Hey …I built one of those at a sport air work shop in Denver about 20 years ago
it was a great time when I thought a RV7 was in my future… lol.
Pat’s really nice blue & white Waiex was caught by the EAA photographers. Scroll down a bit in this page of their flicker album.
