 Oshkosh 2013 is just a few days away and I'm still scrambling to have the funds to make it thru the week (seriously) - so, rather than wonder how I could possibly be so poor at the moment, please just find a book you'd like to have and buy it! If you enjoy AirPigz, then this is a great way to show your appreciation while also getting something more for your money... and all the while helping me have the cash to buy food at OSH. Your serious consideration here is greatly appreciated. And a big Thank You goes out to the cool people who already bought books to help support AirPigz OSH13... you'll all be rewarded soon with some great pix form the world's greatest aviation event : )

 You can also see the books that are still available in the previous post by checking out 'HELP' category link - and you'll find the full purchase procedure listed above, right under the Sled Driver (SR-71) book - thanx : )

Independence Day Aviation Book Sale! (AirPigz OSH13 Fundraiser #1 - 15 Books)

8 of these 15 books have been sold - click to see all the avaiable books

 It's not really the 4th of July to me, it's Independence Day... I think there's some very important disctinction there. My guess is that about 20% of you are rolling your eyes right now and the other 80% are nodding their head in agreemment. Regardless, it's a big day to remember and acknowledge how this country came to be, and maybe an even more important day to ponder where it's going. As it turns out, it's also a day for me to ask you to consider checking out this first wave of really nice gently-used aviation books from the collection my dad had gathered over the last 40+ years. He passed away in 2009, just two months after I started AirPigz, and if you don't know about his amazing life in aviation, you need to check out my extensive tribute post to his life in the sky. 

 I'm in pretty desperate need to generate some funds to cover my camping expenses at Oshkosh 2013, and unlike the FAA's strong-arm tactics against the EAA over Oshkosh tower operations during the fly-in (I'm glad the EAA is fighting back), I'm simply giving you the opportunity to see if you find any of these books interesting enough to purchase at fair market value. In case you're interested, at the very bottom of the post is a short explanation of why it's necessary for me to raise some funds to make it thru Oshkosh, and why I'm using these special books from my dad's collection to do that.

 Aviation Books (gently used) For Sale:

 This post features the first 15 books (of about 45 that'll be available in the next two weeks) shown in a composite photo of each book. The images below are showing the same book (I only have ONE copy of each book) with the cover displayed on the left and the open book shown on the right. There's a description under each book, including the condition, and the price if you're interested in buying it.

How To Pay:

 The prices are firm and INCLUDE the packing and U.S. shipping cost. If you see one or more that you like, click the email link under the book pic and let me know you want to purchase it.
