After 14.1 hours of flying a circuitous route, I'm back from OSH.
I met lots of VAF members, saw some very beautiful planes, ate lots of brots and drank a beer or two. (Hey, when you land, they give you a beer stein so I had to make sure it didn't leak!)
When I taxied in on Friday they parked me right next to Jay Pratt?s RV-8 "Borrowed Horse" and then later Dayton Murdock in his gorgeous RED RV-4 parked on the other side of me.
On Monday I came back to my plane to find two OSH judges looking over both Jay & Dayton's planes and not even giving my -9 a 2nd glance.
Let me just say, those two airplanes were drop dead gorgeous and I hope my presence didn't detract from them winning awards!
I think I ran into Doug every day I was there, that was a bit strange.
Bummer I couldn't catch up with the rest of you but I had to leave on Tuesday morning, drop my buddy off in Northern Michigan, then head to Ohio where I spent the night with some old friends, and then dodge a POTUS TFR on the way back to Charlotte.
The VAF gang is really made up of a bunch of very nice people. I really enjoyed meeting those I did and bummed I didn't meet the rest.
