Today’s Flight Plan

I’ve been at Osh Kosh for the past week! Airplanes EVERYWHERE. Seriously. The first morning I pulled up, I was just amazed at how so many airplanes could be in the sky all at once. It is truly a sight to behold.

Over the next several days I experienced an immersion in aviation that I have not yet had. Hundreds of vendors, thousands of aircraft, hundreds of thousands of aviation enthusiasts, all in the same location.

Even with a full week, I only scratched the surface of things to see.

I wanted to share just a few of those highlights with you in this podcast.

p.s. My voice sounds absolutely TERRIBLE and I am without my regular recording equipment. Please forgive me on this one! It’s a bit difficult producing on the road like this, and even more difficult to sound decent after being A. sick and B. having to speak so loud over the engine noise the last several days.
