Seaplane base is really cool. Even though it was about 3/4 empty when we were, there were still planes coming & going all the time. Even go to see (& hear) the orange beaver and the piaggio start up & take off.

Also saw a 195 on floats, which I have to assume is pretty rare.

I was googling my tail number (as you do) and was amused to find a nice picture of myself on the CAP Facebook page of all places.

From the EAA site:


EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2021: Facts and Figures for an Outstanding Year
Attendance: Approximately 608,000 – Only the third time attendance has surpassed 600,000 and within 5 percent of 2019’s record total. Comment from Pelton:

“We went into this year not knowing what AirVenture would look like and how big of an event was possible. The aviation community spoke loudly, though – it was ready to come to Oshkosh and we were happy that we could welcome them. Our theme was ‘The Wait is Over,’ and indeed it was. And the wait was worth it. There was joy and excitement throughout the grounds and it set the stage for the return of AirVenture, making us very excited for the future.”

Total aircraft: More than 10,000 aircraft arrived at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh and other airports in east-central Wisconsin. At Wittman alone, there were 16,378 aircraft operations in the 10-day period from July 22-31, which is an average of approximately 116 takeoffs/landings per hour when the airport is open.

Total showplanes: 3,176 included: A record 1,420 vintage aircraft registered, plus 1,089 homebuilt aircraft, 354 warbirds, 148 aerobatic aircraft, 112 seaplanes, 33 ultralights, and 27 rotorcraft.

Camping: More than 12,000 sites in aircraft and drive-in camping accounted for an estimated 40,000 visitors.

Volunteers: More than 5,000 contributing in excess of 250,000 hours.

Type in PC where it says N Number no leading N. Leave the criteria as 'contains.' Run Query. Do the type in the secret number thing and hit Run Query again. http://aviationdb.net/aviationdb/AircraftQuery#SUBMIT

That was fun.
Sucks to get old.
Too many years flying without hearing protection.
