Not appropriate for FR.... LOL!!

Can you make an extra one XXL? Since it's a crew shirt I won't wear it at Reno.

Did you want me to handle that for you, or did you want to get dirty?

Thanks for the ping and AirVenture link...
Soooo many neat events and so little time; no less than fifteen (15) western events, thru Sept, listed in PacificFlyer!
Looks like "Wings over the Wine Country" (8/20-8/21) and, of course, the Reno Air Races get the nod this quarter. Need more weekends in the month...and hours in the day!
Oshkosh IS on the "Must Do" list ... By Gosh!!

A silence fell over those assembled along the flightline as White Knight and SpaceShipOne became clearly visible, the only sound the varied clicking of camera shutters. Reminds me of the first time I, and a lot of other people, first saw an SR-71 in person, when it arrived over the Reno air races maybe 15 years ago. There was an aerobatic act in the air, but the whole crowd ignored him, and stood up and craned their necks straight up as the silhouette of the SR became visible high over the airport. What a sight.

The crowd at Oshkosh is shrinking. EAA hasn't publicized it much, but that's the reason they're pushing the regional shows, cause OSH is slowly fading.
But Oshkosh is magic. Nothing like it in the world. You'd best visit it now.
It's easier to visit than the publicity says. Buy a ticket to Chicago or Milwaukee and rent a car for a day. Just stay in the big city an hour away by freeway, and don't worry about the talk of no hotels around OSH.
Do it. Do it now.
