Picture of the Day: A dragon visits AirVenture

By General Aviation News Staff · July 31, 2019 ·

John Dowd submitted the following photo and note: “Puff, the dragon, visited EAA AirVenture Oshkosh on July 25, 2019. Of course the world’s largest and most ancient flyer would want to visit the world’s largest fly in. Some might say it is “anthropomorphism,” but they’d be wrong. The photo was taken by the Ultralight Barn.”

    John – No anthropomorphism, but a very observant eye and equally creative mind! (And a little luck.) Puff is in my collection, and going to my stepdaughter, an artist who loves new inspiration. Keep your eyes on the sky; is it not full of wonders?

      Maria, thanks for the words. Puff was not anthropomorphism, because this was not attribution, this was “REAL”… 😉

    Great photo. I got to Sing Puff the Magic Dragon, on stage, with Peter Yarrow, in Daytona Beach FL a couple years ago.

    I should have identified myself as John M. Dowd, VP of Marketing for King Schools…
