Ken and I leave tomorrow for Oshkosh, WI and the EAA AirVenture, the Woodstock /
Frankfurt Book Fair / Boy Scout Jamboree of American aviation. It's
enormous, some 300,000 people come every year. The true experience is to
fly in to the
crazy
busy airport and camp on the field in a tent under your wings. Ken
and I have opted for flying in to a nearby airport and staying in a
hotel, more our speed.
This trip will be my first time planning a multiday plane trip. It's complicated finding a route that is safe, efficient, and interesting. The hard part is finding airports where once you land you'll find something to do and a way to get to a decent hotel and dinner.  The best times in my life have been car road trips where I wasn't quite sure where I'd end up any given day. Flying in your own plane is pretty flexible, but the logistics of finding ground transportation feel a bit confining. Then again for once Ken is the relaxed one about travel plans, he's happy to take what comes to us. Should be fun! |
