Great article again Lesley. I will be looking to you for instructions about where the restaurants are just a15 minute walk from the aircraft camp grounds.

Cheers Gord

Thanks, Gord.
My next story will describe the rest of the flight and the landing. I’ll be sure to describe how I felt when I opened the passenger door and was greeted by “Welcome to Oshkosh! Is this your first time here?”
The rest of the story will relate some anecdotes – and learnings – from our first stay at Airventure.

Gladys, I’m happy that my story inspired you. My future stories will describe some of the ups and downs (pun intended) of learning to fly.

Gord, thank you for your comment. I often marvel about how we got to where we are! And wonder where we will end up! In the meantime, we are having a blast!

Comment on Life is too Short to be a Passenger by Lesley

Haha – yes, it’s a big fan. And I was doing more than sweating that day when I thought that it had stopped!

They say that the only reason for having a propeller is to keep the pilot cool. Why? Because if you stop the propeller, you can see the pilot sweat.

Comment on “E” is for “Experimental” by Lesley

Lesley — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:08:51 +0000

Great question, Michael!
The Federal Aviation Administration in the US (like our Transport Canada) lumps many aircraft types that are not certified, production aircraft into the “Experimental” classification. Sub-categories include warbirds, airshow aircraft and amateur-built aircraft. In Canada we have a “Amateur-Built” type specifically for aircraft fabricated by an individual for recreational purposes. Homebuilt aircraft are frequently one or two seat aircraft, but the law allows for building an aircraft with up to 6 seats. So by that definition, our 4-seater float plane will qualify as an “Amateur-Built” (in Canada) and “Experimental” (United States).
Check out my latest post, where I describe how we came to be owners of a certified Cessna 172.
Cheers!
