Oshkosh 2008

[HuggyU2]

OK, who's going?
If anyone's interested, I'm looking to trade some of my old ascots for one of them Naval A-V-A-Tor jackets with all the patches on them,.... especially the ones that say "Top Nugget" and that sort of stuff.

Seriously, though, who will be there this year?
Badger, you don't have a hair on your ass if you don't at least ASK for leave.

I was thinking about taking a 182 out there this year. Hopefully they'll have a good show this year.

You know I'll be there this year huggy! Don't forget every night after the show, head down to my grandfather's bar Herbie's Acee Ducee for cocktails and dinner. I'll be there most nights...probably drinking sambuca with huggy again!

Hope to see some of you there!

I'm going to the show for my cross country. Going to have a T-6 Texan II on static along with a T-39 from VT-86. There is going to be myself (SNFO in intermediate) and several SNFO's in advanced along with at least two instructors. Feel free to swing on by!

We'll be there from tomorrow afternoon through sunday afternoon

Afraid I'm going to have to miss out. Sorry Huggy. API calls. Heard you brought the 2 seat this time. Did more of your buddies wanted to come this year? Just try to keep those AF pilots with the Billybob teeth under control at the Ducee and have El Douge buy you a beer for me!

If you are a pilot and you aren't having fun at Oshkosh, you're in the wrong line of work, and you're a helplessly horrible person who deserves a miserable life.

I'm a tad jealous all of you sneaking a free ride to the flight line. Don't you feel like you're getting away with something?

My Dad is going

When is it? And how hard would it be to get a Rhino in there?

 

[badger16]

^^^ It is going on this weekend. Rhino's are there every year. Not sure about the details but I know they are on display. Wish they would have a Rhino demo team come.

fwiw, the rag in lemoore is supplying a 2-seater rhino this year.

I'm jealous, y'all. My flying club did a trip up there. Can't get a Cross country with the Longbow approved from here! Enjoy the show!

I'm not sure what it takes to get them here but if you can, fly in! I was there all day yesterday and the two rhino's that were there left at about noon. I'm not sure if anymore are coming or what. Across the runway where they keep the aircraft that aren't in air show center, there were what looked like two Top Gun hornets, two F-22's, 2 F-16's, a Prowler, and a MV-22 Osprey.
A two seat U-2 flew in at about 14:00. That was pretty neat. I didn't know they had a two seater.

Probably one of our token Air Force guys - Huggy (who started this thread).

I wonder who that was?

 

[el douge]

No I talked to him the night before and he flew a T-38 in. The pilot's name was Mike. I can't remember his last name. The guy that road with him went by Cabby. Both really nice guys. I guess huggy is flying it out on Monday.
