    Tips for flying Chicago Shoreline?

    I was in Palwaukee for work, when I departed I just headed east to the shore then turned south. I contacted Midway when I got close so I could transition. Definitely a flight I would recommend.

    Oshkosh - 2019

    I have never found of shortage of willing helpers at Oshkosh to assist with pushing or pulling a plane around for positioning in the camp ground either when arriving or departing. Conversely, I was shocked at Sun N Fun this year to watch plane after plane simply power up and pull out of parking...

    I saw a great t-shirt last weekend!

    Saw an older gentleman at a small local restaurant on Father's Day in a t-shirt that read "Oh, your Father isn't a pilot huh? Well tell him Happy Mother's Day for me" I was laughing when he looked over and he gave me a wink (I was wearing a Beechcraft shirt). :)

    Oshkosh or bust...trip planning

    If you go around the west side of Chicago versus the lake shore VFR corridor why go back east to KETB? Fuel is cheaper at Ft. Atkinson (61C). Also, your flight plan shows direct to KOSH and you really need to follow the NOTAM by proceeding to Ripon. Should look like this.

    182 wing inspection plate screws

    I'd pluck one of those screws out and take it up to the local National Aviation Parts Association store and pick up a bag of them, and keep a few extras in the hangar.

    N/A rechargeable batteries

    I used to only use Eneloop Pro's but have started to mix in the Amazon basic Silver's and they perform equally for much less $$

    Oshkosh - 2019

    FWIW, I use a standard size Coleman cooler (nothing fancy) and keep it in the shade as much as I can. I also buy and freeze 3 one gallon water jugs to put in it versus bagged ice. It melts much much slower, doesn't fill the cooler with water, and as it melts I have cold water to drink. I usually...

    Ever smell pot in the air while flying?

    Couple years ago I was making a short hop from C75 to 3MY (17nm) on a cool calm May evening. Short trip so I was at 2k feet. I passed over Summer Camp http://summercampfestival.com and in an instant the only thing I could smell was weed and BO.
