Osh is one of the items in my bucket list. ;)
Looks like we both missed it again, this year...
Been to Sun-N-Fun several times, though.
Privileged to have spent 45 minutes one-on-one with Burt Rutan back in 1976, Dean Wilson for an hour and a half in 1998 and about a half an hour with Jay Carter back in the late 90’s, picking his brain on rotor performance issues.
I was then and am still amazed that these world renowned aeronautical geniuses would take that much time to talk with and mentor a nobody who also loves the “out of the box” aspects of aviation design.
Great memories!
Back to the subject at hand, Gary Schmidt brought a Highlander and an Escapade to our local Jackson County fly-in not long after they moved operations to Walhalla.
It is good to see that they are still around and doing so well.
