Oshkosh:
In the next 12 hours, Grace, the dog and myself will be getting on the road for Oshkosh. We will be out of the shop for 14 days. It is about 1,300 miles from our grass strip, this is my 22nd year of going to Airventure. It has changed a lot over the years, but to me this remains constant: I always like going to see friends, both old and new. That single factor more than makes up for all the annoyances, including always getting stuck in Atlanta road construction traffic, even if it is 3am.

Above, myself, Grace and the legendary Chris Heintz, at Oshkosh 2014. One of the best things about Airventure is being able to speak in person with many of the most creative people in homebuilding, it is a great learning opportunity. While it has formal moments like the dinners, during the day it is casual.
( Note to the guy who told me I should “Make your wife dress conservatively,” Oshkosh is America, not Saudi Arabia, and my marriage vows were about supporting my wife, not “Making” her do things. )

William,
Are you still planning to do a “CorvAir Tour” ending at Mexico?
