I've been just south of OSH since June 21, and you sure can't put any stock in the weather forecasts here in the summer!! The weather forecasts LITERALLY change every couple of hours. It's an "unsettled" atmosphere here, so it's not easy to predict. So good or bad, don't put too much stock in the forecasts. You can plan for Wednesday evening, only about Wednesday at noon! :-) June was wet, wet, wet, but it's been pretty nice here, lately, with most of the rain (where there is some) coming in the evenings. I've been taking some more aerobatic lessons at KOSH this month, and we've had good flying weather.

All, unfortunately I'm not going to make it to Oshkosh before Thursday. See you next year I hope.

I just signed up for BBQ and to give rides. I will be camping at Scholler. I have room for 3-4 passengers. 763-229-0516, best way to contact is text, as I don't always answer calls.

Unfortunately, I have to be in Atlanta for Work on Thursday and will have to leave Oshkosh after the show Tuesday. I won't be able to make it to the BBQ, but I will be at the open house Sunday and hope to meet some of you there.

Hopefully, next year I will be coming in my plane and I will be able to stay for the night airshow.

please all take time to find wayne and kathy, thank them for their continued hospitality


the weather so far forcasting good! sunny and low 80’s, but as mike smith says keep on your toes, late afternoon and evenings can lead to cu buildups and t-storms. lightening hail strong winds. if flying in make sure your plane is well tied down.

safe travels.
