Here are a few pictures that I took at, or on the way to OSH. Most of them are about people and not about airplanes. :) If anyone thinks a picture of them is unflattering, let me know and I will delete it. :)

I notice you waited until AFTER all the bugs were off your airplane to shoot these!!

:yes:
Since you mentioned it, thanks for cleaning the bugs off! :D

As I was mowing I was thinking about starting a "Thank You" thread for OSH.

Thank you Ken for cleaning the bugs off my airplane, and giving us a ride to Kodiak Jack's.

Thank you Chip for bringing my sweetie to OSH.

Thank you Felix for keeping me company.

Thank you Grant for ice delivery and the white wine and the ride to the restaurant.

Thank you Dave B for the red wine.

Thank you Gil and Sue for joining me for dinner and taking my bike.

Thank you (I think????) whoever left the Mile High shirt. :eek:

Did I forget somebody?

Thanks Tony. :) There were just a few wispy pieces of cloud scattered about as I left a stormy area on the way up to OSH...it was really pretty that evening.
 
considering that you can pretty much see through them, i would hardly consider them to be clouds...
 
Actually, I only wondered for my own purposes. I dodged similar stuff on an early student solo and wondered if we need to. My CFI only gave gave a shrug when I told him.

It's not like I haven't been there since.

Owell.

She was in Class G space.

To answer my own stupid quandary..the point is to keep VFRs clear of IFR traffic in IMC. The only way you'd be in trouble is if an IFR fight reported you. If a 747 were to pop out of that thing, you'd have more than the FAR question to explain. :D
 
Looked like a lot of fun, Diana. You ever come around Warsaw anymore?

Hi Dustin. How have you been? Still flying? How are the kids?

I landed at Lincoln on my grass strip tour in May. Nice little grass strip. My IAC chapter flew there for breakfast last month, but I wasn't able to make that meeting.
 
Dang, I almost made it into one of those shots, but Herb's noggin got in the way...:rolleyes:

It was fun meeting you and the rest of the gang! :D

Hey Sean, welcome to the forum! It was nice meeting you at OSH!

Just for you Sean, I'm posting a picture of you (well, the back of your head anyway :D ), Bill Cloughley, and Herb Kushner.

I'm trying to recall this exact moment... I think Herb was expounding, Bill was skeptical, and I was laughing. Sound about right? :D
 
I finally got around to putting all my Oshkosh pictures on my page.

In the "General" section there is one of Diana expounding to a bunch of Pilot of America posters and Mid-Atlantic Trunk Monkeys who are listening intently!

Work keeps me busy. Been doing ok though. Have not flown in 2 years, AGAIN! LOL. The kids are doing very well, the youngest starts Kindergarten this year :yes: :yes: :yes: . Not that I have been looking forward to this, lol.

Lincoln is nice. I have never landed on it but have been there. Would love to some day though.

Great narrative and photos, as usual, Bill. :yes: Thanks for posting the link.

I was up at Carol's in K.C. today and she asked about you. You really impressed her at Gaston's. She loved your Oregon Trail trip photos and descriptions.

Thank you for not putting me in the "Vintage" section. :D

I was not only expounding :yes: but also autographing my magazine article in that picture. There were a bunch of extra copies in the IAC building, so I grabbed several. The guys asked me to autograph them, and I was really flattered that they asked...I've never had anyone ask me to do that before.

Scratch "several" and replace with "them all". :rofl:

I thought I'd be nice and left two there that day. :princess: BUT, I went back and got those the next day. :D One of them was in the window dealie in that little box outside on the porch and it took 15 minutes for me and an EAA guy to get it out...he had to keep going back into the back room for more tools. :D He was quite nice, and helpful. :)

Diana, I read your article on the flight home. Very interesting and well done!

I didn't get any good pics, but I'll post this one since it represents the fulfillment of a dream for me: camping under the wing of my plane at Oshkosh.

Great to see all the familiar faces from POA and Gaston's there!

And here are a couple representing the cessation of the dream, at least this year! Unfortunately, you had just fired up the engine when we arrived, so we didn't get a chance to say "Hey!"

Thanks Bill. :) It was a pleasure working with Ken on this article. I received valuable input from special friends (and professionals) Gil (Trunk Monkey with the 7G172C :D ) and Stephen.

Sorry we didn't have more time to visit at Oshkosh.

What? No picture of that DH-4? I hope you saw it...
Those in-fromation RV shots are amazing; thanks for sharing those.

I was mystified when you asked about the DH-4. But then a friend just sent me this fantastic link about the DH-4 and their adventure to AirVenture. Link. Turns out it arrived Friday around 2PM. I didn't see it come in or here about it and we had to leave around 4PM so I missed it completely. But the great web page takes some of the sting out of it.
 
Leah and I saw it taxi into its spot, we were down in Vintage at the time.

Leah actually saw it on Tuesday when it got to Poplar Grove with an Oil and Water Pump issue (I believe) she was preflighting the J3 Cub when it landed and followed everyone running up to greet it. Quite a trip.
