Am I the only one who thinks that an air show named after, and hosted by the estate of, someone(s) killed in and airplane crash is a bit... odd?

I don't know, Will Rogers was a huge proponent of aviation and Wiley Post while pretty much universally only remembered for being Will's pilot was a major pioneer in aviation in his own right.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben
