I thought you guys might enjoy a video I made of the "walk around" at OSU campus yesterday. The sororities and fraternities put on huge displays based around a theme which was "An orange state of mind" almost completely made out of chicken wire and different colored paper. Pay close attention to how detailed they get with color variations and almost picture like detail along with all sorts of objects moving.
After that is the Homecoming parade. We woke up at 3:30 this morning to tow our Flying Aggies cessna 150 with police escort to our spot in line downtown. It's a lot of fun riding with the airplane watching its wings on the back of a tow truck, especially the crazy looks you get from people in their cars. We stayed with the airplane until the parade started around 9 then played wing walkers, crowd head watchers, and candy givers all at the same time for about a 2 mile walk. Talk about tricky!! The parents are trying to get a good look so they stand close, sometimes van back doors are open so you have to make sure they're clear, and of course ALL the kids want to touch the wing! As crazy as that may sound, it was a lot of fun. And of course, at the very end of the parade, we had an immediate tow and police escort down the main highway back to the flight center! Everyone was cheering and the kids kept asking if I could fly it (of course with hands out looking for a tootsie roll). Exciting day!
