On a gorgeous Spring afternoon in April, we flew
up to Oshkosh, WI, to join our friends Jim, Tami, Nick & Megan Burns at the
EAA Museum, located on Wittman Field.
Since we usually fly there during the madness
known as "AirVenture", held the last week of July (the largest
airshow/fly-in in the world), it was a real treat to be able to slowly
wander the mostly-empty museum, taking in the sights and sounds at our
leisure. And "Friar Tuck's" restaurant -- normally packed to the
rafters -- was positively empty!
For those who ONLY get to see Oshkosh during the
fly-in, the pictures of the flight line -- a bee-hive of activity during
AirVenture -- will be shocking. It's so peaceful the other 50
weeks per year!
