Once again we are happy to have our IFR rating... Flying to KOSH for AirVenture. VFR might have been possible, but we didn’t want to cross Lake Michigan at low altitude. Pictures within the clouds didn’t turn out well. :( Posted OSH arrival pictures earlier.

VFR for me. Not many issues in 4500 miles of flying (went to Ft. Worth after Osh), but did get forced down on the deck in Missouri. Cruising along happily at 8500' until the Wall of Weather appeared...dove down to about 1500' agl with 2500' ceilings and dodged shafts of rain for a half hour. Normally don't like to fly that low, but lots of good opportunities for unplanned landing on roads and field there. The occasional radio antenna DOES get your attention even if its top is 700' agl. :eek:

I bet you had better seafood there than our trip to Maine this week. Was very disappointed. :(

It wasnt our favorite restaurant this time due it being summer and people vacationing there, makes the wait unbearable.
Not that I am from Maine or know anything about it, but I do want to head up there and hit up some of the Lobster Shack's...
I love the shot of your wing against the clouds in the backdrop

Love Maine lobstah rolls. Usually best for a roadside shack along one.

We had one from some dumpy place behind our hotel and it was basically crab meat with mayo inside a grilled hot dog bun. Still dropped like 30 bucks just for lunch alone.

the amount of people in Bar Harbor was insane! It was super hot and just too many ignorant people wandering around with their heads up their butts.

The cloud pic was on our way back to Michigan from Niagra. We had some pretty bad storms we were going around so we had to fly IFR back. Made for a great picture anyway.
 
After a fun day of testing a downwind landing, trying to hand prop a flooded engine, and a somewhat bumpy ride home, the last landing of an all around fun day.
I'll post the downwind landing another time.
