Just wondering if everyone is spending as much time at the hangar as I am the past week or so?...
Nope, but sure spent a busy 5 months up to this past weekend working on painting the plane, new gear fairings, etc.
Truth is, I still have to load a bunch of stuff (tools, spares, tires, O2 tank, extra oil, etc, etc.) plus, of course, all the camping stuff, luggage, Jeps, water, lunch, camera gear, suntan goop, and on and on.
Looking at the weather and trying to decide on a launch time (short leg Fri. afternoon, or Sat. AM start with wingman VEZ N75WR) depending on coastal and So. Cal desert weather. Still planning Sunday night in Madison for the Monday Glass Overcast arrival, which is a bit up in the air at the moment. Hope to see you in OSH. We'll be camping in the homebuilt area, at least that's the plan.
This will be my first trip to Oshkosh and was wondering about some travel/camping tips from some of the veterans out there....
It's only my 4th trip to OSH in 20+ years so I don't consider myself a veteran of OSH. Fly early in the day out West if you can to avoid the bumps and buildups. Don't push the weather or your luck. If you are doing the Fisk arrival with everyone else be sure to really know the OSH Notam cold and what to expect 'cause it can get pretty hectic and you don't want to be the one to screw up (lots of opportunity for that!). Don't arrive at Fisk with low fuel or high personal hydraulic pressure! :? Bring lots of cash, just in case OSH is expensive. :lol:
Fly safe and have fun - that the whole point!
Best,
