Earliest departure for Oshkosh?

[rwellner98]

Wow, some guys just left Buenos Aires this morning in a Cessna 140 to start their commute to Oshkosh.

That's about the earliest I've ever seen. Has anyone seen earlier?

That is so cool. Talk about keen!

Hope they make it before the show closes.

I know a Sylvanian that started 2 months before arriving at OSH. He flew around the world in a Pipistel motor glider.

It was his second attempt. The first attempt was cut short by Canada not allowing him into their airspace. He literally turned around after traveling 3/4s of the way around the world after being denied Canadian passage.

Oh man, I can't imagine how angry he must have been!
