Fuel run before leaving

Building the pile…

Loading the flight plan in the phone. Put all the transitions in and I’ll just use heading mode to go to the one in use after checking in with ATIS.

NOTAM loaded in Goodreader and highlighted. The iPhone lives on a ram mount in the upper left corner of the cockpit. I’ll switch to the GoodReader application after I leave Fisk so I can have it right there in front of my eyeballs if I need to switch to a different runway than planned

On my instrument cluster driving home from the airport Tuesday in North Dallas. Looking forward to lower temperatures at OSH

My buddy Rob is now there. He wrote the software that the judges use when judging the airplanes. He is there early to make sure all the equipment works

All bridled up…

6:45 AM Friday morning

Saturday 0600 departure

Fuel stop on way

One of the more painless Oshkosh arrivals in memory. I literally did not see another airplane all the way from Dallas to Fisk

Step climb up to 7500 feet and a nice VNAV descent to my fuel stop.

Climbing back up to 7500 and then eventually 9500 to get above some clouds followed by a nice descent down to 1800 for the arrival

Danny, Paul and Jay with Scott greeting me after arrival. That’s the vans tent in the background if you want to know where my airplane is.

No 15 yet. Storms coming in a few hours. Hot and sticky. Tomorrow supposed to be really nice
