Here's a pic of your favorite mallard on the announcer stand with announcer Dave Keim (Dave ran the Prarie Airshow that I worked at for many years). If you look close you notice not just what hot muggy air does to people, but also that I'm wearing my Chicken Wings shirt. Was waiting all day to see if anyone yelled "Chuck is that you?" but nobody did. Plan to hook up with C310 Captain tomorrow afternoon.

P.S. The F-22 flight display was beyond description! The thing went from slow flight on a low pass to pointed straight up afterburner see-you-later climb mode in seconds! F-16s and 18s do this on takeoff, where the pilot keeps the machine low, builds up speed, and thn pulls straight up, but this thing did it directly from slow flight mode! Damn... I want one.

CR310Captain and I got together for early dinner today while he was on a break from his volunteer job shephearding airplanes. We didn't have much time but made the most of it and laughed a great deal and swapped stories ala Chuck style. More later (I need to run off to the Sonex party which even now is getting started...)

From the recent issue of www.avweb.com.... looks like Chuck may have been trying to make Airventure after all:

On the return home Saturday I heard the following exchange as I headed
southbound
passing Madison, WI. Warrior 98765 was heading north and already receiving a
Flight
Following Service from Madison Approach.




Warrior 123: Madison, Warrior 123. Can you tell me if there is a NOTAM or
anything for
getting into Oshkosh?
Madison Approach: Say Again ...

Warrior 765: Yeah. Can you tell me if there is any kind of special NOTAM for
getting into
Oshkosh today?

[Long Pause]

Madison Approach: You're kidding, right?

Warrior 765: No, my [garbled] was out and I couldn't get anything before I took
off. Can
you tell me what the arrival procedure is?

[Longer Pause]

Madison Approach: (speaking slowly) I suggest you land before you get there and
get a
copy. There's one here at Wisconsin Aviation ... or Middleton is in your 10
o'clock.

Warrior 765: Standby ...
