Finally, I was able to tick one off my bucket list and after many years wanting to, I made it to Oshkosh! It is a long haul from my home in the Yukon Territory to OSH and return. I covered over 5,500 miles in my RV6 C-GYMW. (route is in attached image)
I arrived Monday 24th, departed Friday 28th. Had a blast! But unfortunately, because it was still a bit wet from Thursday night's rain, I left my RV-6's canopy cover hanging on the fence behind where we were parked at the threshold of 23 in General Aviation Parking (images below--my RV is the green one, but my canopy is a lot like the one beside it)) and I took off home without it. Was in Laurel, Montana before I realized my mistake! Called EAA lost and found and the guy there said there was a good chance they would find it, but I never heard back. I was focused on getting home through all the British Colombia forest fire smoke on the weekend after. When I called back on Monday there was no answer at EAA lost and found, left quite a few messages over the past couple weeks but can't seem to reach anyone. Their number now says it is disconnected.
My canopy cover was made by Bruce's Custom Covers, but before I order a replacement, does anyone know if there is still a way to contact EAA lost and found, after the show? I would gladly cover the shipping and compensate/reward someone for the trouble of packing it up.
