Annual made it safe to Osh thread.
Well Shantel, the airplane, and I made it safe to Osh at 5pm. 1 fuel stop and 1 field closed due to IFR conditions which resulted in another fuel stop and wait along with about 75 of my closest friends at C47 and once the field went VFR, we blasted this way. Let’s just say the arrival was not flown at 1800’!
I ran all the way from the back row of HBC to the GES shack to get our box we shipped up here (54lbs).... lucky for me they were still open! Lesson learned, don’t put your tent in the box!
We are in row 313 by the cell towers right next to Dan Horton.

We fought weather for the last 300 miles, but are sitting at SOS drinking a beer right now.
I'm calling it a win.

Happy to hear you made it out & arrived safely.
I've always enjoyed Saturday arrivals as I enjoy Sundays on the flight line.
I'm looking to head out early tomorrow morning with an arrival before the beer tasting.

We?re here. HBC, south end of row 318. Look for the only RV10 without a canopy cover ? we left ours behind.
Currently drinking beer with Kyle at the SOS bros.

Eh, so I took the airlines at the last moment -- made the decision at 08:30 this morning in Savannah. Even so, weather avoidance gave us an, ahem, indirect route. But I'm here, safe and sound. I won't be giving any demo rides here, and I won't have the side trip to Michigan like I wanted, but I'm here.

Glad you made it Brian! Like I said, gotta have a little faith. I plan on heading up tomorrow morning.

Not quite yet, but we did make it safely to Watertown today. Managed to squeak in under the overcast, and conducted my first-ever landing in rain when we got here. It was looking great until I was on about a one-mile final, when the rain started. I could still see the runway, so we continued.
And by some miracle, at our previous stop, I found a hotel room here, so we're actually sleeping in a real bed, unlike what looked like ten or so people preparing to bed down at the FBO.
Tomorrow should be fun. Whenever the field goes VFR, I expect the Ripon arrival to be quite a furball.
