My highltght of AirVenture 2011 was flying into Oshkosh with my Homebuilt
My hat off to the Fisk controller he was outstanding. We also flew as a group of three planes we got seperated at Fisk heavy traffic
However the Marshals found us and we got parked together in the homebuilt area (ZENAIR )
Thank you for making this week a memorable event

Coolest thing, was on sat. When Sean tucker was flying, and the wind from a nearby storm caused damage to many tents, awnings, and knocked over portapotties. Tucker kept the show alive with an adhock airshow during the wind, while the airboss tried to persuade him to land. Us that were racing back to the campground to secure our items, looked up, to see tucker standing still in the air, and being the showman that he is.....Thanks for the 2011 year....

I enjoyed seeing Oshkosh through the eyes of a 20 year old Ukraine student, Vadem and a 15 year old B-17 volunteer, Chase as I walked around with them for three days. Because one old geezer friend had to stay home, I could take these two plus two old geezer regulars in the van. We all had a great time. Next year I will fly the Cub, 75th anniversary for a different perspective on the show.

The Electric Lazair ultralight. Watching him shut down one engine and maintaining altitude on a pass across the field. And knowing that he is soaring it for extended times back home. Realizing we will someday have a special row in the ultralight/light plane exhibit area for electric aircraft.

Best part was volunteering nearly all day for 10 days to help make sure others had a good time. Try it...you'll like it.

We saw Sean later that day. He said that he felt he would be better off in the air where he could still see decent weather than being on the ground during that storm. Hitting a gust while taxiing or landing probably would have been more dangerous than staying in the air with an escape to the south available.

I came to see Dale's E Lazair and to meet up with several other Lazair owners. Considering the current economic climate in the USA the EAA have done well to keep putting on a great event. The night airshow was a lot of fun. Even the John Deere tractor demonstrations pulling giant RVs out of the mud in Camp Scholler were entertaining.

So much happened this year. But the biggest was that I was promoted to a co-chair of the Warbird food shack. We serve the best volunteers at Airventure each year. So next year will be more work but that is fun to me.

We flew into OSH in an RV10. It was really cool to be parked in a sea of other RVs!
