Oshkosh!

What can I say...

It was everything I expected and more. This was my first trip, I've been wanting to go for 20 years or more. Flew via the company plane to Midway in Chicago with Jim Darrah and his Dad, Bob.




Three amazing events stand out: First, the Virgin Galactic mothership. Second, the Airbus 380. Third, getting to meet a group of RV-9/9A builders at the Van's banquet, and getting to hear Terry Lutz talk about flying the Airbus 380.


Oshkosh was like a postcard!


The right plane on the second row is the little red RV-4, flown by Bill Gunn, that inspired my project!







Here's just a few pictures, more are in this Picassa page.
