So we’ve been here since Saturday volunteering and I’ve had ample opportunity to wander the grounds as things are getting setup. By the looks of it, much like Osh last year, this is going to be a banner year for SnF. New vendor areas, more venders, more entertainment, just more of everything.

They’ve posted the schedule. https://www.eaa.org/airventure/eaa-a...-mass-arrivals Friday, July 19: Cherokees – 11 a.m. Cessnas – 5 p.m. Saturday, July 20: Mooneys – 10 a.m. Bonanzas – 1 p.m. Sunday, July 21: Cirrus – 10 a.m.

Hey, I just posted a reply to a post in the Busting Class B thread in Lessons Learned. Both my post and the one I was replying to have been deleted. Neither broke any rules I’m aware and were in fact innocuous, at least IMO. Can anyone shed some light on why?

Seems a couple of threads from a certain “Captain” have disappeared. What gives?

Opening day here at Osh and it’s booming. The crowds are huge and the vendors came in force with big displays all over. IMO this year is shaping up to be one for books.

Flew down to Venice, FL this past Saturday to participate in a dynamic prop balancing session hosted by RV-8 owner Mike at his hangar along with 3 other RV-8 owners. Mike had rented an older DynaVibe balancer-- the one where you have to do the math manually vs the newer ones that do it all for...

So need to attend an event in Norcross, GA in a few weeks. Norcross is basically in the middle between Peachtree-Dekalb (PDK) and Gwinnett County (LZU). For you Atlanta folks, any druthers? We’ll be coming up from the South East IFR if that makes a difference.

Flew down to Key West to have lunch at the Florida Keys Seafood Festival. Went down and back IFR and ATC was pretty accommodating getting us direct to EYW just past Ft Myers and direct Tampa Exec again just past Ft Myers on the return. Ft Myers Approach was busy as hell and I’m glad I was just...

If anyone’s interested AOPAs Hangout is this weekend (Friday and Saturday) at Tampa Exec (KVDF). https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2022/november/pilot/hang-out-in-tampa They are also still looking for volunteers. From an email I just received: “We are looking forward hosting the...

So, one thing I've never done is a test on the Service Ceiling on my RV-10. No real practical reason to do it. I'm just curious so it would just be for grins and giggles (yes I know I'll need O2). My question is from an ATC perspective, how to go about filing and/or asking ATC for a clearance to...

Anyone running a Lycoming EIS on a Thunderbolt? Looking for a PIREP.

I see on AvWeb that Bearhawk has test flown their new 6-place Bearhawk 5. Color me intrigued! https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/...eat-homebuilt/

their website has been updated: https://flysnf.org/a-message-from-john-leenhouts/

Doing a bit a research into tandem seat cockpits and I’m looking for info on how the J3’s throttles are connected together with each other and the carb. Can someone post a description?

This is a resurrection of the thread I started last year over VAF. Scott Dennstaedt, Co-founder of AvWxWorkshops and the WeatherSpork App (it's what I use), is once again publishing a video series on YouTube on current weather analysis for getting to Oshkosh. Here's the first installment: If...
