Visitation will be held from 4 to 6:45 p.m. 'He looked at an airplane as having a certain beauty to it, in the way it was designed, and what it could do,' his son said.īesides his son, Kohn is survived by a daughter, Mary Ellen Kohn-Buday brothers Norbert and Victor Kohn and grandsons Robert and Jamieson Kohn. He never stopped taking photos of planes, and left more than 20,000 images of aircraft - fighters, racers, airliners. In 1972, he left the EAA and started his own magazine, 'Armchair Aviator.' That lasted about a year, and Kohn went to work at several places, including a brewery, and retired from Delco Electronics, where he had done test and assembly work on electronics. (That's him at his desk at the EAA's Franklin headquarters in the early 1960s, in a photo provided by the EAA.) He spent decades with the EAA, serving as its official photographer beginning in 1954 and as assistant editor and then senior editor of the EAA magazine - first known as 'Experimenter,' and now called 'Sport Aviation.' He wrote a column called 'Chatting with the Chapters,' culling the monthly doings of local EAA groups into a column. Eastern Daylight Time is 1 hour ahead of CDT (Central Daylight Time) 6:30 pm 18:30 in EDT is 5:30 pm 17:30 in Tomah, WI, USA. 'He spent a lot of time taking pictures of planes,' his son said. He was 86.įrom the time he was a boy, Kohn was fascinated with planes. Leo Kohn, of Brookfield, died Friday of cancer at a local hospital.

'People would call him about some obscure plane. 'He documented everything about the airplane he could - back when you could walk out onto an airport runway and take a photo,' his son said. 'He was member number four of the EAA.'īut it was on the ground that Kohn made his mark in aviation, taking photos of thousands of planes, often in black and white, then describing the plane's colors and recording its serial number. 'My dad was one of the guys sitting at the table when it all came together,' said his son, Bill Kohn. Kohn had his pilot's license and served in the Air National Guard - that's where he met the late Paul Poberezny, founder of the Experimental Aircraft Association. But, it's beautiful out there in Big Sky Country.If you were looking for a photo of an airplane from the 1930s, '40s and beyond, chances are Leo Kohn had it. You are by yourself on 200 for long stretches and very small towns. I did this once heading out to Washington. Get on MT200S from Glendive to Circle and then MT200 west through Great Falls and back to I-90 near Missoula. Want to shave more miles off the I-90/US212 route, take I-94 west into Montana. Couldn't drive fast at all as they were lined along the road licking the salt off (this was spring) and occasionally running to the other side in front of you.

However, I drove US212 at night one time. Taking I-90 all the way is almost 50 miles longer than I-94 all the way, and almost 70 miles longer than cutting across Us212. I-90 & US212 is 21 miles shorter than taking I-94. Just don't hit the Twin Cities at rush hour (true for almost all cities).Īnd deer in Montana come with the territory. If you want the all-freeway route, stick to I-94. I second US41, my preferred route to take, and it's scenic too, was I-90 then cut up US 212 to Crow Agency, MT back to I-90. Park was beautiful, I don't do sight-seeing on any of these trips, my time is already allocated for my destination - so this is purely a time-saving question. I'm not sure when my next trip to Seattle will be - but it will be soon - as I'm looking to move there, just tying up loose ends here.Īlthough watching the sunset over Teddy Roosevelt Nat. I feel this was a mistake, especially after dealing with Minneapolis. This led me to switch to day driving for the trip back - and I chose to stay with the run through ND on I-94. Typically I drive cars that are more at home in a post-apocalyptic B-movie, but things were very different this time. However, I all of a sudden got spooked by the sheer volume of dead deer once I hit MT as well as being in a new(to me) car that I want to keep pretty for as long as possible. Seeing as I always drive at night to avoid the bad drivers, it was a fairly uneventful drive. I recently completed my first cross-country (NY to Seattle and back), I used I-90 then split off onto I-94 through ND because GPS and such showed it as a bit faster.
