Weather today was spectacular. Clear, smooth, low surface winds. We made it to Oshkosh. Trip was 101nm. Last time the airplane was here it was in parts at the Sonex factory. True for the engine also.
In two weeks we are launching on a 450nm trip to visit my parents in eastern Tennessee. Plus one of the goals is to take my 87 year old father for a ride. He was a pilot and is the reason I'm into building and flying.
Funny story, when I was 12 or so he brought home an info pack for a Pitts Special kit. He was going to build one with our chief pilot at Sikorsky. Then the Blackhawk program hit and he dropped that dream. I was wildly disappointed. I'm all better now.
