"Oshkosh", 2006

Every year I tell myself, "Self, we have to make it to Airventure at Oshkosh this year". Of course, this scheme turns out as well as the Harley-Davidson I would like to purchase every year. No "Hog", no "Oshkosh". Float flying season is in full swing during the Airventure timeframe, and it is just too difficult to get away. I have tried to think of ways of getting time off for Oshkosh, but to no avail. One idea I had was to "feign" dementia, walk around "drooling" into a bib, sneak to Oshkosh to photograph the old aircraft, and upon my return miraculously recover. That didn't work, I couldn't find a big enough "bib". Yes, someday I will actually, "physically", make it to Oshkosh to drink beer, and "get a boner" looking at all the old aircraft and old radial engines, and savouring the sounds as they "crank-over". Until then, with a little imagination, wonderment, "Technicolour" mind's eye, and the following "link", I went to Oshkosh this year. I even actually flew there via Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevadas, the Great Salt Lake Desert, then Wyoming and Nebraska! So folks, if you are like me, and would love to go to Oshkosh,......let's fly there!
