With the last of the AOPA visitors departing today, I looked around for 
airplanes of interest.  Here are six that I found.

This 1977 Cessna Hawk XP II sports 210 hp and a nice set of amphibious 
floats.

Following WWII, Republic offered the Seabee to the civilian market. This 
is a beautifully restored 1947 example.

This brightly colored Cessna 185 came all the way from the Yukon.

The Light Sport Pilot is allowed to fly specially-designated aircraft 
with only a driver's license instead of the usual FAA Medical 
Certificate, if he/she has not been denied an FAA Certificate.  This is 
the neatly designed entry in that field from Sirius.

I spotted this beautiful 1948 Ryan Navion heading for the gas pumps.

Everyone loves the warbirds.  This 1955 North American T-28B was departing.

Most with the X-E1 and 18-55, except for the Navion, with E-1 and Tak 135

Comments and critiques welcomed.
