We made it in from Wautoma without drama right around 11:30 AM. :-) Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Jim, we are gonna miss your forum. We have to go fetch our plane tomorrow morning from Wautoma Airport, where we diverted today after 3.5 hours in the Green Lake hold, and getting turned away AT FISK no less than 3 times. We gotta have a plane on our site, or EAA will get ****y with us. Sent...

We are in Row 509, right up by Rwy 27. We will have a big white chalet awning tent and a tall Texas flag. See y'all Wednesday! Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

The FISK controllers, usually so amazing, were totally screwed up today. First, they didn't follow the NOTAM, and insisted on one mile in trail, rather than the usual 1/2 mile. This was, of course, impossible with the number of aircraft in the air. They then became flustered and obviously...

Wow, how'd you pull that off? lol That's like my sister teaching Spanish not just in the same school, but in the same ROOM for 34 years. Except you leave and come back.

lol Yeah, that's me. Except I've gained weight. And years. And lost hair. Tell you what: Look for the sunburnt old white guy wearing a floppy hat. That's me. ;)

Oh, man. That sucks! Sorry...

Mary, Becca and I will be there, presuming all the stars align properly! Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk

If all the stars align, yup. You know which Forum building yet? Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk

We pick up our Innsitters at Corpus International tomorrow. Once they are here, I can relax a bit. Extra air conditioners, TVs, and every consumable laid in. This is statistically our busiest time of year, and it's when everything breaks! The plane is cleaned and checked. Fuel and oil...

Oooo, like a kid in a candy store! Vienna lager and saison, please! :) Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk

You know I've been to OSH 36 times, and NEVER set foot in that place, Jim? It's just about the last place on the grounds that I haven't been.

IF the same people are running it this year, breakfast in the North 40 Cafe has been outstanding. Enormous, affordable, and fresh.

Formation flying is fun, but exhausting. We used to fly LOOSE formation with folks from Iowa City into Oshkosh. By the time we arrived in the FISK approach, I was bushed! I am truly excited to see you and China again, my friend. After 2017, I honestly didn't think it would happen again...

Good luck. We have been trying to get EAA to move the event to a less-busy time for us (it is, statistically, our busiest week of the year), but for whatever reason they have ignored our request for 16 years. So, we hire inn-sitters, and leave, with the hotel packed to the gills.

Super 8 gate is open 24/7.

Today was a great day for 55 minutes of intense OSH practice. Flying around at 90 knots and precisely 1800' MSL always feels odd. Right hand tight, tight, tight landing patterns do, too. I was clearly rusty in slow flight. Nailed it, after a few minutes of chasing speed and altitude...

Glad to hear you're getting back in the game! Hope you can make it to the HOPS Party on Wednesday. When the kids were grown, we jumped to the experimental world 5 years ago, and never looked back! Our RV-8A has been the BEST aircraft -- fast, efficient, reliable, able to carry all we need for...

We are just a couple of weeks out -- man, I can hardly wait! This is your official invitation to our annual HOPS Party in the North 40 during Oshkosh Airventure. ("HOPS" stands for "Homebuilt, Owning, Piloting, and Student" -- the old rec.aviation Usenet groups that pre-date the modern...
