The finest people I've ever met
The coolest airplanes I've ever seen
Long-term planning worked. After looking for a ride share to Oshkosh everywhere I finally bought a round-trip ticket trying to help airline industry. Friendly neighbor Tom gave me a ride to Newark airport Sunday morning and asked to bring a picture of Sally. His relatives were on that flight that landed on Hudson. Tom dropped me off at a terminal indicated on the ticket, then I was told to move to the other terminal the fun without RV was about to begin. TSA people liked my half-bottle of shampoo so much I decided to give it to them as a gift. Good trusty fellows and I am not mean either.
It is so easy to figure out who is going to Oshkosh. Just look at respectable waistlines and aviation insignia on hats and t-shirts and you can easy spot at least five Airventure visitors. I did.
Also I've learned how to earn easy travel money. Right there on the spot at the gate before boarding. I will let you know how in a second. Somehow I bought tickets without seats assigned and had no clue why. Customer rep asked me if I wanted 250 dollars voucher for later trip. Of course not, I have some planning to execute. All right everybody have boarded and I was offered 400 bucks. Rep said he would do such a business after his retirement collecting the money, sent young pretty assistant to the plane and somebody took the bait. His seat became mine and the journey has began.
You can not imagine how much of the show one can see through regional jet window on his way to Oshkosh. That's why all seats were booked on this scenic flight from Newark to Milwakee. The Clouds Show was amazing, long time I didn't see something like that. My camera was snapping picture after picture after picture so beautiful the view was. There was a cloud exactly looking as a character from the cartoon UP reaching all the way up to our flight level 360.
A bit farther there was a shadow of a beast from Tolkien's book. Incredible. Cloud formations sometimes looked like 30+ ship formations.
Over Great Lakes any passenger better be instrument rated to prevent upside-down confusion. My non-certified camera captured couple of unique moments of ERJ inverted flight. Do not believe me? Take a look at the pictures below d'you see the wing upside down?
Then stewardess brought a sandwich and munchies followed by soft drink. Awesome.
Coastal line in sight, expecting Milwakee at eta.
Water in the lake looked very bahamish and there is absolutely no necessity to cruise the Islands, just go to Wisconsin. I will.
