I normally see a few celebrities during the week: Who did you see?
Michael Goetzman - Milwaukee WI

I met and interviewed Robert Hays for the Timeless Voices of Aviation oral history program. Super friendly (and FUNNY) guy and a gentleman in all respects.
- Zack
Well not counting the perennial performers/exhibitors like Rod Machado, John and Martha King, Sean D. Tucker, etc...
Bob Hoover, Chesley Sullenberger, Cliff Robertson, Gene Cernan, Brent Blue, Barron Hilton, Carroll Shelby, Jack Daley, Dorothy Cochrane, Kevin Kochersberger
I did see Robert Hays being interviewed by the airshow announcer (over macho grande line).

Zack, a friend of mine flew out on the plane with Robert Hays from California. She got one of those inflatable dolls like in the movie Airplane and had it in the plane when he came on. He got a laugh out if and posed for photos with the doll. By the way, it was a fancy plane, but they didn't have any deviled eggs or brownies or cake!
Thanks

(I had lasagna).
I met Burt Rutan and his wife....absolutely wonderful folks whom I can't say enough nice things about. I also met Bob Hoover, Bud Anderson, Jack Roush, a couple of the WASP, and Capt. Sullenberger.

In my brief one-day visit I was able to see Bob Hoover, Rod Machado, Sully and Jeff, Ariel Tweto, and (non-aviation) George Lucas. Not too bad - only at Oshkosh, right?

My flying/training adventures:

A mile of road will take you a mile, but a mile of runway will take you anywhere.
The highlight of my week at oshkosh was meeting Lorrie Sullenberger, What can I say, Captain Sulleys a luck man! But the rest of the gang, Rod Hightower, the Rutan bros. Hoovers, Arron Tippin, Jeff Skiles and Lorries husband to mention a few was way cool.
I could shake hands with Bob Hoover, I've seen Jim Lovell and Gene Cernan (two of my heroes when I was a boy) and I could take a few picture of and with miss January and miss December of My Bombshells 2012 calendar (ok, maybe they are not so famous, but... wow!).
I missed Harrison Ford and my sons will not forgive me for this (they love Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies and they asked me to get an autograph).
I met Areil Tweto from Flying Wild Alaska at the SOS Bro's tent.
