Thanks for the great picts— I wish we were there.
Re: Rv15 tail being lengthened 10”— my rv10 barely fits in my tiny Port a Port tee hangar.
Although it’s easier to back a tail dragger in; is it going to fit in a T Hangar?
Does anyone know if I should expect to park in homebuilt parking or GA parking if I’m not camping? What is the parking like so far?
I stayed in the dorms and was surprised to see on the map of who came from what part of the world so many from overseas. And in particular New Zealand. There were over 35 pins posted from Kiwis and assuming many more.
I really enjoyed the RV Social and met folks from Canada, Australia and even Romania. Great trip. Vans truly have a worldwide following.
One sure fire way to end a drought is to park a bunch of airplanes close together…..
Welcome to Oshkosh!
Now there would be a great bumper sticker:
" I flew my balloon to Oshkosh!"
Great week with some great people!
It was sad to hear what happened today after I got home today.
Good morning all---
Sorry we left early. But due to an unfortunate weather related wind incident, we broke down on Saturday morning an left. During Friday nite's storm the wind shifted to the east, and wrecked our display tent. .....

I have my photo gallery set up here and will be posting more every day.
Oshkosh used to be a week later. They moved it up several years ago because school starts so much earlier than it used to.
There was a storm every year then, too.
Ir is a testament to Ford's engineering, I drove another 989 miles home Fri/Sat with an over nite in Paducah...Oshkosh trivia question...
How many pilots can be stuffed into Jerry's Ford Escort?
Bonus question...how many bags of groceries in the trunk?
Bonus question #2...how much beer with the groceries?
Yeah, it was riding kinda low....

I think maybe it used to run Wednesday or Thursday to Monday or Tuesday, but I may also be confusing it with SNF. I do remember the magazines talking about “the weekend,” like some people came before it and some after it.didn't it also used to run from Saturday to Sunday...instead of Monday to Sunday like it does now?
...or was that only Sun n Fun?

After taxing from HBC for at least an hour Thurs AM, I was finally off the ground and heading north. Couldn't understand why the departure controller kept repeating..."Don't fly anywhere near FISKE!" every couple of minutes until I snapped this shot of my panel.
I was the RV-9A immediately behind you coming out of P1. I enjoyed the AOA alarm tones courtesy of your prop wash. According to my logs I was 48 minutes from startup to takeoff. I took off about 45 seconds after you did. FR24 playback if kind of fun to look at. Here's a snapshot of RIPON - OSH at the time of our departure. Looks like they were holding all over the place.
Sorry about that brutal RV-12 prop wash.
