Oshkosh!

Dad & I flew in to Oshkosh. Landed ON the green dot on Runway 27. Boo-yah! It rained all night on Thursday. Thank you, REI.





We flew 6.2hrs around the weather. It was the quickest way to Oshkosh.






The clouds around Cincinnati were purty. Purty high. We had to fly around.






Happiness is a P-38 rescued from the depths of the Greenland Icesheet, a Dove Bar, and the sound of a prop cracking 200ft from your tent at 7AM.





The Mystery Ship. Very cool 1920's replica racer.








Bloody aftermath from flying the Ripon/Fiske approach into Oshkosh. We slaughtered about 20,000 of Wisconsin's finest mosquitos.





Brigadier Gen. Chuck Yeager tellin' it like it was...and like it is. Amazing to hear this man speak.







Heritage Flight with the F22 and Glacier Girl taken through the poor man's telephoto (a pair of 8x50 binoculars pressed up to the camera lens).





The Rubber Chicken Pitot Tube Cover® Now available from Sporty's!






What Oshkosh is all about. Homebuilts and the best of the best fighters.






Sean Tucker pulling a snap roll out with yet another amazing routine in his Pitts. This guy is the best showman I have seen.







One of my favorite jets - a gleaming F-86. I'm getting some Dual in this plane next year....now to find an instructor....






Can you hear the roaring drone of 20 big radial engines passing overhead? Only at Oshkosh you can....







A beautiful P-51 Mustang getting ready for the show. I love hearing these things start up.






Sean Tucker with a full-deflection rudder slip past the crowd at the end of his act.







Tragic P-51 crash on Friday. The airshow was shut down for a couple of hours, but no one complained. It is a sobering reminder of how important safety in the air is.




Leaving Oshkosh on a beautiful clear day. Most everybody has gone home, but still plenty of campers staying through the weekend. We'll be back!
