Jack & Steve Allison flew to OSH all the way from California in Jack's beautiful Piper Arrow. 29.4 hours round trip, averaged 7.3 gph, scooted across the ground anywhere from just under 120 kts to 140+ kts, depending on the wind. It was a very fun trip. They were able to join us for both the "Pre-Oshkosh Fly-In Pool Party" (held at the inn) and for the "Rec.Aviation Party" (held at our campsite in OSH). Not to mention trying to hold a conversation with Jay *before* he's had coffee. Kids, don't try this at home! :-) Actually, Jay and Mary impressed me by helping push us out of our parking spot before they'd had their first cups of coffee. I especially like this panoramic shot of the North 40: Yes, way cool and one of those "Hey, why didn't I think of that?" things. Mostly for Blanche...no, this was *not* what IOW looked like when we arrived. Picture seeing the airport about four miles farther away, really hazy, and that was the arrival. Well, then again, I really don't need to tell you about that eh? I think we had 5-6 mile visibility when we arrived. The nice picture of our wingtip and IOW is really Sunday morning. Sorry Jay, didn't want Blanche to think she was the only one to deal with that wonderful "Visiblity 9" as reported by your AWOS. :-) -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-IA Student Arrow N2104T "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |
