9:36 airtime... damn.

Wow... what a class act. Does the FAA publish punitive actions? Here in Canada, enforcements (and other actions) are published and the COPA magazine prints them monthly. EDIT: Here's the page of searchable enforcements for non-corporate offenders...

Thanks for the input guys... Leaning towards either the beginning (Mon + Tues) or middle (Wed + Thur). Sounds like the real solution here is to go the whole week.

I don't own an airplane currently, so I would mostly be going for the experience, exhibits and atmosphere.

Sounds like a good time. OK, so still torn between early, mid and late week.

I've been wanting to go to Oshkosh ever since I started flying some eight or so years ago, and finally will have the opportunity to go for a couple days this year. I'll be heading in commercially, don't have an airplane to use for the trip. If you only had two days (and evenings) to spend there...

Yep, did the training years ago. Stressful for sure, even if you got out just fine. Definitely worthwhile.

Modified engine/prop? Looks like the stock tach gauge only goes to 2500 RPM. Nice panel btw.

Net present value (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_present_value)... Finance stuff related to the value of payments today.

Reminds me of home (BC), thanks for sharing. Here'a a still from a ridge crossing I did in a Cherokee at about 10,500'... definitely only doable in the colder weather.

So with 2018 around the corner, what are you guys looking forward to in the world of certified avionics? I know I’ll be keeping an eye on the GFC 500...

@denverpilot, thank you, very good input.

Agree with you on this one... at the closest GA airport to myself (CYKZ, which incidentally is slated to shutdown in the coming years) I was quoted $850/mo for an unheated hangar.

That sounds in line with my estimates, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing that, very helpful. That's a very good point, I suppose it's all a matter of perspective and how much you are willing to spend.
