I thought I would start a new thread where we could tell our "feel good" stories about Oshkosh.
A gentlemen and his 29 year old son came up to me and told me that I took him for a ride in my RV-4 in 1985 and between that ride and my story in Sport Aviation it inspired him to build his own RV. I know he and his son came up in it and I think his son is even learning to fly or already has.
I have to tell you that of all of the great things that have happened to me at this OSH, including the honor of speaking at the Van's banquet, this was my highlight!
It is so cool to have inspired someone such a LONG TIME ago and they are still going and are so enthused.
I feel terrible that I don't remember his full name but it was Dave from Findlay Ohio and I hope he joins in.
I'm sure many of you have similar people stories from this great place so let's hear them.
