OSHKSOH 2006

Oshkosh started uneventfully. After much planning and worrying about the arrival, I coaxed friend and SkyArrow builder Jim Zigan into right seat spotter duties. We departed Columbus just before dawn on Sunday, arriving OSH around 7:30 am. The expected Battle of Britain traffic consisted of a 172 2 miles ahead, and no one behind. The 172 got 27R, I got 18L, and a nice normal approach. Since I was alone I was not assigned a dot, so I picked the numbers instead. I was given a mile of grass taxiing for my choice.

On Monday I held a forum on the EFIS, which was attended by about 75. Several folks have followed up with further interest. My presentation is here.

I parked in the Glasair booth at Harry's invitation. Hundreds of folks came by to see her. The first group of judges came by on Tuesday while I was off touring the antiques contemplating choices for the next project (a Waco RNF perhaps?) More judges came by on each of the following days, and several request a look under the cowl. On Friday afternoon I received a letter telling me that it would be to my benefit to attend the awards ceremony!

Saturday night saw N59CL receive a Bronze Lindy!
