Gene Soucy and his wingwalker Teresa Stokes awed the audience, especially the photographers, at last week's big Oshkosh fly-in. They used Soucy's much-modified Grumman Ag Cat cropduster and made sure to do low passes for the shutterbugs. The photos are my favorites from the event not least because the sun came out from under the clouds during their gig and lit up the airplane's bright colors.
