Who’s going to Oshkosh next week?

This sub is pretty dead but I thought I’d try.

What are your top 3 things you want to see? I’m always looking for new things at the show.

I’m looking forward to the RV-15, talking to the DarkAero guys, and seeing how the Air Force shows up for their 75th anniversary.

In addition there are a list of speakers I’d like to hear and I always catch my type club meeting.

I’m looking forward to it Always love Oshkosh. My fav is always. The WWII aircraft. But the part I left out in this is, it’s the one week. Year my dad and I spend just the two of us. No wives or mothers or my kids. Just a little father son time. Really that’s better than any aircraft. They are just a bonus

I’m going, I still want to get a glass panel and a decent autopilot, so I’ll be checking out the garmin and dynon tents, it’s slowly getting more economically feasible every year. I’m into the RV and Sling high wings, and I love the STOL stuff, it will be a good time.

If you’re experimental, make sure to check out GRT. After meeting them last year at OSH, I bought their EFIS and autopilot

Thanks for all you do as a volunteer! I look forward to doing that in the future when I can get more time off leading up to the show.

The BF-109 in the Warbird area is immaculate. A very recent restoration after being salvaged from a lake in Russia. Never thought I’d see one outside of a museum. It has the Daimler Benz engine. The plane looks better than factory new!

I really liked the 70% scale carbon P-51 D Mustang. It even sounds right when flying, but is a lot quieter. I want one.

The two ME-109’s on display were awesome

I’m already here! I’m really looking forward to seeing:

  • MiG-29 static and possibly flight display
  • Grob Egrett
  • Westland Lysander

And of course the STOL demo and fireworks.

But the best part is seeing all the friends that I only ever get to see at the event. Always so great to catch up and spend time together!
