I made it to oshkosh this year albeit a day late, I had to help ferry some of our planes back and I was on the grounds yesterday at about 1600 local. I have never been to osh and it wasnt a few days prior or during the convention. To see the North 40 totally empty sans a onesy here and there it was like seeing a ghost town. Most of the tents were still up and workers were filling semi trailers with show equipment, There were many ghost planes there as some of you have shown before, where the planes protected the grass from the sun and the crowds.
Although my absence this year was justified as my latest "homebuilt" showed up on early thur morning 7lb 15oz, my second Daughter arrived, Lillian Rose. Im not sure if you can call kids quick builds or not as the first 9 months sure are fast, the next 18 yrs Im guessing will seem more like the scratch built type.
Just thought I would share my 2007 OSH experience. Oh and it didnt go with out a bit of excitement, on take off from 27 in a SR-22 the copilot door came unlatched a bit, it obviously didnt get latched properly prior to take off, a quick left pattern and check and recheck of the doors and I was off again, back home all in a quick late afternoon visit to OSH (I think my shortest yet)
