Thumbs up OSH 2011 PIREPs and Photo Gallery URLs

You at OSH? Taking pictures? Got a laptop? Use this thread to share what RV stuff you are seeing with the folks that couldn’t attend. This thread will get big.

Thanks in advance,
Doug

OK, where did all those names come from? As I understand it, a pilot doesn't get to choose their call sign. Is that right? (FYI - I'm not military so I could be lost)

I hope lots os people post pics and stories. I've never been to Oshkosh so I'm living vicariously !

Default RV count

At the close of business Friday there is a nice even 40 RVs in Area 51 and homebuilt camping, plus a few more scattered around the field. About on schedule for Friday. We should get in another 100 or tomorrow and should be well over 300 by the time the show opens on Monday. The grounds are dry and all available parking spots are waiting for you.

Saw the RV-10's of Schmidt's and Strasburg's land. Talked to Scott & Renae(?) at the Red Barn. Quite a few RV's landing, the Corral is filling up. Got a notice that potential high winds and rain on it's way so I tightened down the tiedowns and canopy cover. 30 minutes later blue skies again

PICs
I made it OshKosh and am in good company. Marc(vertical power) on one side


and a bunch more one the other side.

Default Arrived safe & sound

Easy flight up - little rain but no biggy. Approach and landing a nothingburger - controllers and ground personnel are pros. Runway 27...green dot.

From the flight up (below).

Now off to dinner.

Default Listening to Fisk Approach

I've been listening to Fisk approach controllers working the traffic into KOSH today. I just heard them tell a Mooney to keep his speed up because a group of six RV's was behind him. Love it!

METAR for KOSH indicates it's a beautiful day at Oshkosh. They were holding around the lake about an hour ago.

I was gonna fly up this year but my plans changed. Hoping to go next year.
