Information on EAA Chapter 1310, EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, and General Aviation

We’re at Airventure!

We got in late yesterday afternoon and got our admission wrist bands.

The aircraft parking areas looks quite occupied. There was some concern around the newsgroups that the price of fuel could keep traffic down, but it looks like the flyers may have just been saving up for the one big event.

We didn’t get much time to look around yet. We got a look at the prototype of the Cirrus LSA. We’ll get further info on that today. Eclipse showed a concept 4 passenger single engine jet.

The Beach Boys played to a crowd quite a bit larger than last year. The weather cooperated with no thunderstorms this year. When the warm-up announcer asked what songs they wanted to hear, the crowd responded with “All of them!”, and they weren’t disappointed as the Beach Boys played about all of their famous songs.

I’ll try to send a few updates during the day.
