I’ve been taking a break from posts for awhile for several reasons, but probably the main reason is that the last two posts, “The Test” and “The Way”, represented fairly major efforts and I sort of wanted to sit on them for awhile before I did anything new. Also, “Oshkosh” (more properly, “AirVenture 2008”), is coming up in just over a week, and I want to wait for that to begin anything substantial. My talk is ready, with, I hope, foolproof illustrations on a Picasa Gift disk, which I learned includes the Picasa software so it can be used on any computer. (Picasa is a free download from Google and works great.) I will also be promoting my navigation book at the Author’s Corner on three separate occasions. If you’re there, I hope you will come by; I will happy to personalize and sign any purchase. (Part of the proceeds go to EAA, a non-profit organization, so you will be helping them as well as me, a little bit more of a feel good sort of thing than a regular bookstore purchase.) My wife and daughters will be there along with one of my oldest friends, Rusty Sachs, a Marine Corp Viet Nam vet chopper jock with a Purple Heart to show for it. Rusty retired recently as the head of NAFI (National Association of Flight Instructors), a component of EAA. It should be a fabulous week and I hope to make regular posts with photos. (Last year's event provided many of the photos used on previous posts, including this one).For more information on the event, including daily schedules (every afternoon features an air show, for instance), go to www.airventure.org.
