Richard Bong Museum Is The Bomb

I love this place in Superior, a terrific museum the celebrates our Wisconsin veterans, especially WWII Ace Of Aces Richard Bong (born in Poplar).  We did a segment on him in the original cut of the film that sadly was cut, but it will see life elsewhere.  And we hope to do a screening in … Continue reading

EAA In Oshkosh, What A Ride, err Flight!

Didn’t get to EAA this year, though I did grab these photos a couple years back when visiting.  We included EAA in the documentary because what’s more Cheesehead than having fun with family and friends in the tens of thousands at a time, and being creative and inventive, while loving the outdoors.  I could go … Continue reading
