Sure did. Chino, van nuys (and 3500ft c172 flight directly over LAX)palmdale,mojave, oshkosh, dc, and today sitting by pool in tucson.
What blew me away about OSH? - the people . No members of the public here-everyone is a commited aerosexual and everyone has a story. The crew chief of a c47, the owner of a texan, the short wing piper magazine editor beside his pristine pacer.
Bell47 flights a must do. International tent a great meeting point although we had to hold it down during thursday storm.
A veritable sea of piper cubs, more mustangs and texans than i thought existed in the world. A grumman albatross with a to-die-for paint scheme.
No fences- no fenceline! Food that,emm, slides easily through you.
And kellys bar of course.
It was my first time and it astounded me,delighted me, made me wish we could do the same in australia,- and made me many new friends.
