Oshkosh 2004

Mon, 02 Aug 2004 00:00:00 -0400

Oshkosh this year was pretty sweet. Cameron and I went for four days! Flew in Wednesday, left Sunday. Saw lot’s of cool planes, bought lots of cool things.

Our panel is finalised pretty much now with the purchase of a Mid-Continent turn coordinator for back up gyro, and the Proprietary Systems Angle of Attack Pro. All I need to do is get this stuff in the panel! I bought a bunch of hardware, some electrical bits and pieces, yet another set of wire strippers to do 12 and 14 gauge wires, and a few other small tools. I also bought a book on the Beech 18… I had to really. I fell in love with them after seeing them up close at Osh. Wow.

Oshkosh this year was pretty expensive! Well, I didn’t take any pictures of RV’s. I was preoccupied with other stuff this trip. Mainly a propeller, but the other one was the B-17 ride. All I can say is WOW! It was definitely the highlight of all my aviation experiances, apart from when I first solo’d and when I passed my checkride.

Here are some pictures of the experience. I’d recommend doing this to EVERYONE who even has a remote interest in flying. If this doesn’t get you hooked, nothing will!

Oshkosh 2006

Sat, 05 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0400

This year at Oshkosh was a bit of a strange one for me. I didn’t have to buy anything! I didn’t take any pictures either. It was more of a social event for me than an aeroplane spotting event.

I arrived on Wednesday evening, and was picked up by my lovely sister-in-law Carken who helped me out tremendously for this trip, since I messed up both my hotel room AND my rental car! Carlen is working in Neenah for a while on assignment, so she extended her room for me, fed me, and loaned me her car to pick up Cameron and Suzanne the next morning.
