Pictures from Diana at OSH

[qbynewbie]

Diana has sent me some pictures from OSH. She asked me to post them here since she doesn't know how to do that from her phone. So here goes:

First, the campsite:

Next, Lance Fisher eating MREs for breakfast at Diana's after riding his bike over.

Jason (Tadpole) riding her new bike and then fixing her new bike.

Tears in my eyes...

Tears in my eyes...

Spike, y'all come.

Brian, thank you so much for posting the pictures for me.

By the time Kent made it to the Citabria it was dark and I couldn't get a good picture of him with the iPhone. He and my neighbor were still talking when I went to bed.

No, wait... Kent was... talking?!?

And he got there with like 2 minutes to spare before they shut down the airport....

Where are the cabins? Don't tell me you guys are sleeping in tents.

Here's another pic from Diana: Gil Valez (TeenDoc) and Sue at the Cessna pilots dinner

Thank god for the high wing.

Tears in my eyes...

Mine too. If the Seneca were flying, I could make it for an afternoon. Sigh.

 

[Lance F]

Wish I were there.

Kent offered some very interesting insights into General Aviation. And while everyone was snoring in Row 518 on the North 40 at OSH, we had a very technical discussion that ran til Midnight CDT. Pity I had already planned to leave on Tuesday morning, because I did want to see the Live PodCast this coming Friday.

Hi Everyone,

We made it back safely home to MDT (Harrisburg, PA). The tailwind and temperature at 9,000' were great, and within under 7 hours were on the ground with our trusty 172M. And just behind my wife and daughters on United 512 as they landed from O'Hare. I'll be back to OSH in 2010!

That's great! Glad you're returning! (You do know that it will be held in the same place in 2009 too, right?)

 

[AdamZ]

Good to see another PA pilot on the board. Welcome Arnold. Was gonna ask if you flew out of Morgantown but see your at MDT. Gotta be cheaper than CXY.

 

[Arnold_O]

Adam, Avflight at MDT has been extremely good to us. The FBO UFS AERO at CXY (formerly the Harrisburg Jet Center) has not been GA-Friendly, and we can only hope they come around, (- or wonder if exterminating GA was their plan all along). There are a great many pilots in PA that need to hear about POA.

Safe and Happy Flying,
Arnold

We took off from OSH this morning in the Cessna 182 and we're enjoying breakfast at DBQ. Bruce is flying the Citabria home for me. More pictures coming up after we get home.

 

[ApacheBob]

I was watching the F-22 demonstration and just missed Diana'a presentation. Maybe next year.

Could they have given me a worse time for a presentation?

The jet behind us in line for take-off this morning...we could feel and hear it breathing behind us.

Brook, it was a great time for being with people. And I met some great new people, too...folks like Arnold who was my neighbor and is posting here now.

 

[Diana]

Here's a picture of Kim and Phil near their Birddog.

 

[Tadpole]

I'm soooo tired.

 

[Diana]

I'm soooo tired.

Maybe you needed a bike. Hopefully it's a good kind of tired Jason. Although I imagine it was hard on your hip. Has it been a year since that happened?

 

[qbynewbie]

Great pics, Diana!
