This is my fourth evening at Oshkosh. It has been a pretty amazing experience. I have seen things that I have never seen before and can probably only be seen here. Where can you see over 50 airplanes in the sky at one time as part of an airshow?
I can sit outside my tent in the homebuilt camping area and take in the air show. Not just a few minutes but two or three hours of flying. This is the view from a few hours ago while I was sitting outside my tent. I miss some of the stuff that can only be seen down near the runway but I think that the view is better for most of the performance from here. I don’t need to look up and strain my neck. I just relax and take it all in.
This was the view this morning after I woke up and looked out from my tent. A beautiful sunrise and dozens of other aircraft. My tent is pitched under my left wing and the tiedown is just outside my door. It comes in handy when I want to grab hold of something as I balance on one foot to put my shoes on.
This was taken just moments ago as he sun was setting. The weather has been great and the low temperature will be in the 50’s tonight. Perfect camping weather. I plan to stay tonight and tomorrow night and leave on Sunday for Texas. Niner-Zero has not been in Texas since June 3rd. We are not looking forward to the 100 degree heat but we only plan to stay for about a week before heading out again. West this time!
