I made my first trip to Oshkosh in 2007 to unveil the Redbird FMX simulator prototype at AirVenture. That was the start of what would become an annual tradition for me, a pilgrimage north from Austin, Texas, along with 500,000 fellow general aviation disciples, to take part in the “World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration.”

Key Takeaways:
- After a difficult commercial flight experience, the author undertook an "aerial hitchhiking adventure" from Austin, Texas, to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, for AirVenture.
- The multi-leg journey involved riding in eight diverse general aviation aircraft, including a B-25 bomber, helicopter, biplane, and seaplane, with an impromptu skydiving stop along the way.
- The trip highlighted the adventure, community, and diverse experiences of general aviation, proving more enjoyable and quicker than the author's previous commercial travel to Oshkosh.
