what did the inside of the Antonov look like?  Rough and utilitarian?  Bet that would be roomy for camping...

Doesn’t show well..but they didn’t need a tent ..just slept inside once they off loaded the cases of oil they needed

This white one was painted California Almonds but notice in the background a Grumman Albatross..set up as a flying RV

Food trucks...theses guys drove in on a washboard 20 mile sometimes 4 wheel rutted road

Since I've been to Burning Man twice, this one is definitely on the list. Expect to see my Mooney out there in the next year or two.

Thanks for the pictures!

Oct 17-21 2020...held on Northern end of Deadcow owned by event organizer.The story I got ,is that they use to hold this closer to Reno on a smaller Lake bed owned by BLM called three shot shells.They got tired of all the hoops the feds were putting them thru...they got together an BOUGHT dead cow

I like the "Flying RV" concept.  Not at all practical, but very cool.  Almost thirty years ago now I saw a PBY catalina with turbine engines set up like a yacht inside.  Very fancy...

That’s one way to increase useful load...starvation diet

What do you do when you get bored watching aircraft racing...you bring your cannon,something the burners would never allow

I can unequivocally say, in his current state, he’s never used a bottle or a tube!!

[thinwing]

He was also not in need of o2

[MooneyMitch]

He’s just become a skeleton of his former self

I went in 2015 and not nearly as big as it is today. It is a great event!

I think I saw your Eagle there in 2015 my first year there
