The trick now is making sure it's all road worthy. In order to best characterize my excitement for next week, I've tracked down some really great... Read more »

I was thinking about what I should write about today and I realized that, even though I'm not flying in, a ton of people will be flying in to Oshkosh next week. So, if you're planning to or are interested in the arrival procedures for Airventure, read/watch on. The most essential document is the Airventure... Read more »

Well, we're nearing the week before Oshkosh. Since I missed two posts this week, I'm going to include them in this update. Forgive me if it seem like a couple of unrelated stories. Anyway, with less than two weeks until the show, the Airventure Info Guide is avaiable. The guide lists all the hours, shows,... Read more »
