It's our fifth day at EAA AirVenture 2009 and the fourth day of the show. Yes, we're recovered our ability to tell which day is which, and even though we're still a little bleary-eyed and maybe just a tad bit unkempt, we're having more fun than airplane people should be allowed. Join our AirVenture intern Adam for another romp around the grounds to see why.

Lots of activity at the ultralight runway.	The amphibious light sport SeaRey.
The Predator B unmanned aerial vehicle.	If you've been watching the live AVwebCam — this is it!
One of the two tails on the VMS Eve/WhiteKnightTwo.	The restored cockpit of the de Havilland Comet.
Patty Wagstaff's Extra 300 sits in the hangar waiting for an air show.
Rob Holland prepares to go entertain the crowd with hardcore aerobatics.	The G1000 panel of a new Cessna Corvallis 400.
The all-glass panel of a Flight Design MC includes a new Garmin panel.	Bill's Dream. This airplane has burned twice and been restored twice. It's a very interesting story.
The panel of a Rotorway Exec 162F. This helicopter had 12 hours on it.	The wing-walker, at this point, was not clipped into a harness.
Jessica Cox was born without arms and just received her pilot's license. Here she demonstrates checking the oil during a preflight.	A P-51 Mustang sits looking at the sunset.
Another display waiting in the rain for people to come over.	Guess they were all here — waiting to get into the A380.
An engine and the short propellers on a C-130 Hercules.	A Bear 360. The airplane for people who have a warbird inside of them.
Putting cowl covers on an A380 is an involved process.
