As long as I've been in aviation, I've wanted to go to Oshkosh. In my eyes, the only way to go would require a 2 things
1)Flying myself there from home in California
2)Camping at Oshkosh for the weekend
Time slipped by, and every year It seemed like the wrong time. When I met my girlfriend Tiffany 2 years ago, My hangar was home of an airplane with a completely bare firewall, and a gutted panel. She patiently watched me work, and I promised her that *someday* this airplane would fly me to my dreams to Oshkosh.
Sometime Around April, I decided that 2018 would be my year. I requested time off work, and plotted the route to fly. With only 170 Hours of time Lycoming FWF, The thought of a mid continent breakdown made me feel a little sick to my stomach. I guess the unknown is part of the adventure. I did know that my SDS EFI engine had run like a clock since day 1, So it should be the same a few times zones away right?
Early Tuesday morning Tiffany and I stuffed our camping gear in N542LC and left home base at Eureka California for the trip of a lifetime.
