Last day of my trip but still plenty more to see until I board my United flight back home. I must have been very tired as I didn’t wake up to the alarm, so a slight sleep in was had as I didn’t get up and about until 05:30. Checked out by 06:00 as this […]
Hi all, A quick early morning look around the static area with no people around. Just some pictures as most of these were logged the day before; More pictures can be seen at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/62861611@N08/albums/72157718344052647 Then it was straight off to the Warbirds area, again in the hope of beating the footfall there. Not the best […]
Hi all, On the Wednesday morning of my Oshkosh week I woke up to torrential rain and the mother of all thunder storms. As I couldn’t see the situation improving quickly, I took this as a sign that it was the time to do the AirVenture Museum. As it didn’t open too early, I took […]

Hi all, My intention on the second day of my trip was to get to Oshkosh which was a good 180 miles North of Chicago. Several people had told me to get to Oshkosh as soon as I could, but i figured that I would rather let the place fill up a bit before walking […]
Hi all, Here follows a series of reports and many, many photographs from my first visit to this great event. I had always wanted to do Oshkosh, but maybe I had previously been put off by the size of the event for a one man band to tackle? Oshkosh (EAA AirVenture) is the week long […]
Decided to have my daily exercise around the airport perimeter. Quite often I am in the car, so I do not take too close a look at all the views, just concentrating on what I require. On this occasion I decided to take a few shots and note all that I could read. Plenty more […]
