Oshkosh 2018 is in the books. Place your pics here. A boatload of people from the forum were there. First and foremost I want to put a huge shout out to Doug Holly. He has made my last 3 Osh’s and many others an unforgettable experience. Thank You Doug!!! Also a big thanks to Larry (Av8er3400) for hosting the gathering on Thursday night. It was great meeting people for the first time as well as reuniting with others. I’ll start this off with some pics from my phone and come back later after I sort through the 800 I took on my DSLR. Chris B and Larry I have shots you are going to want!!

I agree with Joey. This was one of the best vacations I have ever been on. Saw some amazing things and met some great people. Can’t wait to do this again.

I was willing to give you and Vance $100 to take Trents plane for a ride but Vance passed on it haha. Could've been another crazy farmer routine

Thank you for the eye bleach!  What has been seen cannot be unseen, but it can be covered over!

This photo is a friend of mine, Joe "The Point Man" Mapes.  He had an engine-out (Snowmobile 503) with this plane a week earlier.  He flies this Ridge Runner like a Boss!  Window open and elbow in the breeze every time...  So Kool!
