I've been sucked into so much fun at AirVenture I just want to stay and hang out forever. I know that's not gonna happen. I know come Monday scads of volunteers will be working their butts off packing up and cleaning up. AirVenture will quickly...
Lucky for us, Ray Johnson once again invited LadiesLoveTaildraggers to participate in his Thursday "Vintage In Review" program. Jan Johnson (C195) and Sierra Lund (C140) were the featured pilots and were spectacular!

It's all good at OSH today, Wednesday, early enough in the week I'm still winding up! Two high-impact, incredible aircraft of note this week are the Mars Martin water bomber and the Spartan Executive. There are EIGHT Spartans parked in a beautiful, single line in...
Tuesday at AirVenture was a happy, hot-as-hades, sun-shining day! Today was our first LadiesLoveTaildraggers get-together of the week and lady taildragger pilots and guests showed up in record numbers. We met for lunch on the north side of the North Forty, the Hilton Garden Inn,...
Monday, July 25, day one of AirVenture! Officially it's 'Opening Day' but truth is, it's been cranking for days. Vendors and volunteers have been working across the field getting their own little piece of the puzzle ready for today.That's normal. What's not so normal is that...

It's Saturday in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, two days before the big dance begins, and I'm here - early! You know I wouldn't miss AirVenture for the world but I usually don't arrive on Saturday, two days ahead of time. [caption id="attachment_38801" align="aligncenter" width="570"] I delayed an early...
Listening to live ATC is one of the greatest ways to enjoy AirVenture, whether you're parked in a lawn chair along 9/27 or sitting at home in your Lazyboy. Take advantage of the Fisk VFR Approach link and sense the excitement every pilot approaching Fisk...
Thank you Vanessa Jump Nelson for sharing such a fun day with us all! Oregon LLT's, having a sunny Cubbin' kind of day! My Cub (Tumbleweed), had a playdate with her fellow Cub (Gladys) recently. My husband and I flew from our home airport of Twin Oaks...
I just discovered that Julie Vessigault won't be at OSH because she flat-out can't afford to get there. Julie's the special lady that drives cross country to airshows & flyins across America, washing aircraft to pay her way. Julie's not a pilot but she LOVES...
