(August 2014)
Time is running short, so I’m going to get straight to the point: If you’re a pilot or aviation enthusiast and you’ve never been to Oshkosh for EAA’s annual fly-in and shindig, you need to go. It runs July 28 through Aug. 3 this year, so depending on when the postman delivers this issue, you should have about a week to make it happen. Drive, ride, hike or paddle your little red canoe across Lake Winnebago — just go! Best option of all if you’re strong of heart and maybe just a little fatalistic: Fly yourself to the “World’s Busiest Airport for a Week.” You have just enough time to download the notam, practice a few spot landings, pack a tent and cooler, and take off on your cross-country summer adventure to aviation’s mecca.
