For the first time in my life I’m getting to visit the EAA airfest at Oshkosh. Rob is working in Fond du Lac this week (15 miles from Oshkosh) and it worked out that I could take the boat over last night and stay with him, visiting the airfest while he works.

And what a day it was! I arrived, got checked in, and started checking things out. Pilots from around the world come year after year, so it took me some time to get my bearings, being my first time. It was very busy but I had fun.

After lunch I attended a small session for pilots to talk to Sully Sullenberger and Jeff Skiles who piloted the USAirways flight into the Hudson River in January. They were fantastic…

I visited the vendors buildings (many of them) and saw all the new devices, charts and gear.  Even headsets for your dog.

Tomorrow is Women in Aviation day.  I picked up a shirt to wear in a group photo tomorrow of all the girl pilots here.  That will be fun.

Tomorrow night we’re taking the Lake Express back to Muskegon and home late tomorrow night.

Here”s more shots from today.  I can’t wait to come back next year.
