Plans for Oshkosh


I have rented a house for the week of AirVenture 2008 (“Oshkosh”). It has several bedrooms and is on a tributary of Lake Winnebago. Lacking an airplane and needing a car, my wife, Emmy, and I will be driving to Oshkosh. I am hoping that my daughters can be there at least part of the week, and will be inviting a few of my very best pilot friends and their wives as well, the exact number depending upon my daughters’ plans. So it should be not just a great week at Oshkosh, but a nice summer vacation as well.

I will be giving a presentation sometime during the week—the schedule hasn’t been published yet—on the subject of air navigation, past, present, and future. I will also be participating in the Authors’ Corner, promoting my navigation book. I’m really looking forward to the week. If you have ever thought about going to Oshkosh, I strongly encourage you to make plans to do so this year (see www.airventure.org). I guarantee you won’t regret it, in fact the only thing you will regret is that you waited so long. If you do go and see me at either the presentation or at the Authors’ Corner, please introduce yourself to me as a blog reader. I would like to get to know the people at the receiving end of this transmission.
