Air Venture
Wow!
Your first trip to Air Venture was a complete venture. It took me twenty years to visit all the places you did in 27 hours.
I was in a lot the the same places at Air Venture at the same time you took the pictures. I would have enjoyed talking to you, but Air Venture is so big we miss a lot of people.

Great adventure Caleb! Brings new meaning to "Getting there is half the fun!". I enjoyed your story and I'm glad you met someone who enjoys being by your side!

Murray Field
Great to hear EKA is still alive. I flew a courier route to Murray Field back in the 70?s. Still doing the Freshwater approach?

What a great trip. This is why I spend so many nights working in the garage, so one day I can do the same with my family

Oh, that boring stretch through Teluride and down to the Grand Canyon? I've done that on a bicycle (but in the other direction)!

That is very impressive! I was glued to the window for the sights between Telluride and grand canyon. Very different terrain the North West! I'll admit I tightened my seat belt and double checked the Spot tracker was working after seeing how remote it is out there!

Sure did, do they still have the plywood approach in Rhonerville? I have lots of fond memories of flying bank checks into EKA when the weather was so low you had to go VFR

Congrats on your first Oshkosh in your homebuilt.
Does not get any better than that.
I enjoyed your trip report & pictures of the journey.

Nice! Noticed the playground pic near the AF tanker.....Careful there you?ll be selling your current airplane and build a 10...
Or buy a PC24, maybe a V35B (recommended for family :-)
Good journey
