Great pics. I'll make it one of these years.

BTW, your C-17 landing pics are actually the C-5 landing.

Nicely composed.
Good mix of text and pix.
Thanks for another great week of hospitality.

Thanks. We had a great time, and I sure appreciated seeing you and
the "Little French Girl" again!

It's funny, if you look at my pix from our early years at OSH, they
look like everyone else's -- all cool airplanes. Every type, every
model, every color, in every attitude -- that's all I could see, at
first.

Now, with age (some might call it "seasoning". Or, at Oshkosh, we
might call it "ripening" :-), I've lost interest in taking pix of just
the airplanes. Sure, they provide the backdrop for everything, and
they are the reason we are there -- but I always try to include images
of the people I truly care about. Those are the photos with "legs",
and those are the ones that hang on our hangar walls.

Two of our four hangar walls are now entirely covered with 8.5 x 11"
photos of past flights, going all the way back to 1998. They provide
a visual chronicle of our lives, all the way back to the very first
day we rolled our "new" Warrior into the hangar.

Visitors always comment on how cool it is, to be able to see the kids
grow up just by looking at "The Wall", and you can bet that I'll be
adding half a dozen more pix from OSH '07. You (and all the other N40
guys and gals) will be up there for all to see!

What's funny...ok...eery about these pics is that, althought we've never
met, we must have tripped over each other several times during the week.

The pic of your daughter and the C17 is taken from the photo stand. I was
standing at the front of the C17 behind the crowd rope when they pulled it
in...probably 50 ft from you.

Then you mentioned in another thread that you were at the seaplane base for
the fish fry....I left the seaplane base about 3:30 prior to the fish fry
after the wind had all but grounded everyone (saw a pretty red-white Cessna
arrive and a yellow cub (I think), but nothing else other than a T-6 buzzing
us).

So, apparently I've been avoiding you

BTW, I re-read your arrival narrative on this page. What was up with the
lady on final? Was she a straight in? Do they let the IFR folks in that way
or what? Why was she out there?

I have no idea.

Mary thinks it was Patty Wagstaff, since who else would have the
chutzpah to give ATC a hard time at OSH? (And she *does* fly a Cirrus
now...)

I don't think it was, since she would hardly be the one to care about
flying close to someone else....

This has happened to me before at OSH. Even though it's a humongous
place, there are really less than a dozen places where EVERYONE takes
pictures. Thus, OSH pix tend to look a lot alike.

If you're there next year, maybe we'll run into one another?

I agree with Jay. IFR arrivals do however come straight in and some
pilots do have an attitude. Not only is Patty used to close proximity,
she's been coming to Oshkosh longer than I have (15 years) and I can't
imagine that any arrival operations would faze her.

It's too bad, really -- I kinda wish it *was* Patty. There's just
something kinda cool about saying "Hey, I cut off Patty Wagstaff at
Oshkosh..." (Even if it *was* under ATC clearance...)
