New Richmond Airshow 2005

After lurking for a while and talking with a few forum members this weekend, I decided it was time to go ahead and post.

This weekend I atended the New Richmond Airshow in Wisconsin.  The New Richmond airshow is a very young show, with 2005 being its second year.  The setup didn't lend itself to photographing the action, there is a highway just east of the runway, the waivered airspace is on the west side of the airport so of course all the action is backlight.

There was a pretty good lineup of acts, with a local performer whose name escapes me, John Mohr, Joe Dooley, and Darrel Massman.

Here is a selection of shots from the show.

Hi Dan. Welcome aboard. I understand Puff was at the show. Any shots?

It seems like every show I go to there is one aircraft I don't get as many shots of as I should, for this one it was the AC-47.  I very nearly went for a ride on it, they only wanted $100!

Puff is a nice ride. I had the opportunity at Red Wing.

Received a note from Bill Cowden (co-pilot of Puff) and he said it would be at the Milwaukee Show this coming weekend and then Siren, Wisconsin, the following weekend.

I only found out about the New Richmond show a few days in advance... It was a very decent show, a good lineup of static aircraft and performers for such a small event, but the proximity of a nearby highway forced all the action to be backlit.  I was quite surprised to see 3 Piaggio P.136s, two flyers and one stored.

Hey Dan,
Thanks for  posting the photos of the 2005'  New Richmond Airshow!  As Airboss and event commitee member,  We appreciate any input for next years airshow and will continue to build on that thru the upcoming years.  All performers are personal friends and fellow airshow performers to me and I have to say we had a  first class line-up!.. We are planning  2006 as we speak  and are looking forward to a bigger and better event next year.  The dates and airshow times will be different then this year  as to not coincide  with other local events.

Tailwinds,


Pat Anderson
