    Guilty as charged on my profile, I'll have to update that...TW1 now. There are about 4-5 planes coming from here. We'll look for you all!

    I'll be taking a P-3 to Oshkosh arriving on Friday and leaving Monday. NavAir, looks like we'll just miss you. Everyone feel free to stop by and see the war pig. We'll be staying in the dorms as well.

    I didn't turn my computer on the entire time there. Too bad, as I saw the P-3 in the break, and came by your aircraft later.
    I also couldn't find NavAir.
    I did get to talk to CNATRA for about 15 minutes on Monday night.

    You've got one of our guys with you, too. Lucky, sounds like an awesome deal. I was scheduled to do a flyover for SeaFair but had to canx because of another flight.

    Huggy, sorry we didn't get to meet up. Your fame did precede you though. One of the (many) T-34B guys knew who you were and mentioned you by name while we were shooting the breeze next to the CONA T-6.

    Ken, I hope the dorms are cooler for you than they were for us. Tuesday night was down right miserable. Made me glad for air conditioning when I got back to Florida.

    Over all, AirVenture was a blast. I've never seen airspace like that, and probably never will again outside of Oshkosh. The folks there really were the nicest 500,000 people I've ever met. I'll be trying to get back again next year.

    Nope, the dorms were just as miserable for us. The airshow was awesome though.

    Huggy, that break was not intentional. I waved off because there was a stunt plane on the runway and on the way up to pattern altitude I ended up in formation. I'm looking for some pictures of that if you see any.

    I apologize for the quality of the photos; I was in the west side of Aeroshell Square (or whatever they called it this year) and all I had with me was my point & shoot when you came in. Better photos might be hard to come by; most eyes were on the other 4 engined prop aircraft that you shared the pattern with ;)
