Chilli, you're not the first person to mention that. We used Heritage FBO next to customs but no mention was made of the maple syrup . Possibly because we didn't buy anything before shooting off to Potsdam (KPTD). Down to New York City next, hopefully for a trip down the Hudson to Manhattan.

Potsdam (KPTD)




Potsdam to 39 N (Princeton, of university fame)


Vermont, before picking up flight following from Syracuse all the way to Princeton. Remind me why I love flying in the US.


Stormscope - it got a bit active en route. All ATC units were giving weather avoidance advice.


It got a bit busy approaching the NY area, working New York Approach.

@Chilli Monster, no Maple Syrup at Burlington but did acquire some of this at Potsdam, Vermont. It's a maple candy floss which is quite yum.

A mass arrival as we approached RIPON, the start of the approach procedure. We held at the lake there for some minutes. All pretty intense as approaches go.


A severe TS with GR warning is inbound. The weather is starting to get pretty vicious .

Obviously we didn't come for the weather!

[scottish_ppl]

Wonder if we'll ever be able to receive that quality of free weather info in the cockpit over here...

[Iceman]

I do get it in Europe but I do have to pay for it, I.e., the Golze weather radar system.

We're in the Northern 40 row 523 if anyone wants to come and say hello!

Am v jealous of all the “I’m at Oshkosh” posts lighting up my Facebook at the moment. Have fun, and keep posting photos!

[Hooligan]

I'm not jealous. Not a bit. Honest...

Send us more pics, preferably vintage or unusual types. Please! And have fun...

Weather in UK is excellent again after a brief hiccup.

If you decide to get a commercial flight back and the seat needs filling...

He is getting a commercial flight back. And the seat's already been filled. Not by me.

Look for the Texas flag and the red RV-8A, that's my friend Jay. He will have a party one evening.

They've closed the grass parking / camping to all but those with tundra tyres. Relatively quiet here at the moment as a consequence, but the sun is now out and things are picking up gradually.

Imagine that. Flying half way across the globe to sit in siópme Carp weather on a water sodden patch of mud.

Much rather be at home.

Honestly. Really.






Ok I am not honest!

[Lefty]

I feel for you. Never seen anything but wall to wall sunshine when I’ve been there.

The weather cleared to hot blue skies and everything dried out yesterday. The grass parking had been shut to all but those with tundra tyres but that was gradually relaxed during the day. There was then a catch-up period on the arrivals when Oshkosh ATC did what they do best, a constant stream of arrivals on multiple touchdown points on three runways simultaneously, incredible to watch and monitor on the radio. Mass arrivals of Harvards, Mooneys, Pipers, 30 to 40 at a time, warbirds everywhere with B25s, DC3s, B29, quite incredible to watch. We have had a few visitors at our tent so far, Adrian and Ben Twigs included .

Wait till you see (hear and feel) up to 200 radial engined aircraft in the overhead at the same time. It is simply mind blowing!
