Home safe from OSH - Page 4

3 hours and I'm home after a long week at OSH.

IMHO the best attended AirVenture ever. Maybe not by the numbers, but by the number of airplanes & camping areas full.

Unbelieveable.

Home sweet home!

I took a ride in the aluminum saloon, as the RV isn't done and the price was hard to beat.

Good to meet everyone!

I got my order in for my AF3500's while I was there! Thanks Rob!

With all the clouds over Indiana, I idled back pretty far as things were clearing slower than expected. What a plane! Moderate cruise going up and poking along coming back and it took it all in stride. Nice, comfortable flight, if not a new speed record.

LOVED talking with people about 908BL. This was my first experience of having my own plane there (as well as first time flying in.) But I gotta say the BBQ was the highlight. Bob C is right; we are family, and I am proud to be a part of it.

Tuppergal and I departed OSH on Saturday morning towards Missouri for fuel/lunch then continued into Dalhart (DHT), TX and called it a day. Sunday morning, we flew to St. Johns (SJN), AZ for fuel, Payson (PAN), AZ for breakfast and landed Rosamond Skypark (L00), CA at 1:30pm PDT. 32 hours of FUN flying (including the formation), and it was great meeting many of you for the first time. See you at Van's Homecoming and LOE '07

Bob, sorry I didn't get to talk to you. I wanted to tell you attaboy for all your hard work on your airplane.

I made it home Saturday, 933 nm westbound in 5.5 hours with a fuel stop at Beatrice, NE. Dodging weather with the help of the 396.

Great trip and a great fly-in.

Left Saturday morning about 1015, stopped for fuel around Lomira,Wi. and needed to stop again around Limestoneville,Pa. Got home about 230 Sunday morning. Oh yeah, did it on the ground.

Need to make progress on getting in the air.

Home safe, Yahooooo!! Left for OSH 7-20-07 and home on 7-29-07, 9 days of Oshkosh and I still didn?t see everything or everyone. The best part of OSH was meeting new friends and hanging out with a wonderful group of people. Weather coming home was an adventure on Sunday, but the 396 Garmin made it a piece of cake. Picture attached is at 14,500? over somewhere in northern Nebraska.

Totally cool, Alan. You have one very nice airplane. Glad to have met you.

Flew home on Saturday with 2 very sore feet. Must have walked a hundred miles during the week. Thanks Bob Collins for the BBQ, it was fun. The RV formation flying was a pleasure to watch.

Well, we flew out of OSH on Thursday morning between rains and headed west to eastern Montana for the night. On Friday we flew into Glacier and rented a car for an afternoon drive into Glacier Park. On Sat we flew into Olympia, Wa to join up with an Alaskian Air Tour. We will be flying north on Tuesday morning.
