All-
Another year at Oshkosh has come and gone. Thanks to everyone for making it another great show this year. I had lots of fun chatting plane side, and I may have had one or two beers at the RV Social on Monday afternoon -
My approach in from Ripon was a bit interesting this year. I got bounced back to Ripon twice. The first attempt was all the way in to downwind on 27, when the B-52 landing closed the airport for 10 minutes. I was bounced back to Fisk and then Ripon. My second attempt only made it to Fisk. Just after my third wing rock, a flight of 4 Kitfox was turned into my flight path. I edited out the swearing from my video as I dove under them, then ATC saw what was happening and started spinning me out of line, eventually just sending me back to Ripon for a second time. On my third attempt, fourth wing rock, it was smooth flying the rest of the way in. The only issue being downwind getting strung out over the water on 27 for arriving IFR traffic from the East.
Side Note: my hobbs passed 300 hours on the trip home.

I had a BIG tail wind on the trip East ( not so much going home ). 120 IAS knots, 13,500 Altitude (Oxygen), 218 MPH ground speed.
A few scenic shots after passing by Moab, UT. Spent the night after landing at Canyonlands airport (KCNY)
