Well, its almost that time of year again...yep, "Christmas for Aviation Enthusiasts!", the pilgrimage to Oshkosh, Wisconsin is just around the corner. I was looking back at my previous trips since I started building...they occurred at 95.0 hrs and 262.0 hrs, I am now at 738.0. It made me realize I am a little short of 500 hrs since last year..I had originally planned on a 500+/yr pace so I'm gonna try and step it up going forward. Its tough sometimes to keep at it, how guys do these in two years is beyond me. But I, for one, want a flying airplane sooner rather than later. At this time next year, hopefully I will be at 1250 or more?
I am doing things a little different this year. I usually attend the last half of the week, this year I am going early. I will arrive on saturday before the show officially starts (on monday). I've always wanted to grab a chair, a cooler of beer and park my butt down next to the runway and watch the mass arrivals of airplanes coming in. I listen to the live tower feed every year and its quite fascinating. So, I'm looking forward to this new twist.
Of course, I have an entire laundry list of items/vendors I want to check out. Plenty of purchases and decsions still left to be made before I am done. In addition, this is a great oppurtunity for stocking up on needed tools, supplies and AN hardware...helps save shipping costs.
