First solo in the books! What an exhilarating experience. I am genuinely so proud! #studentpilot

I’m really happy with how Soarin’ turned out. I planned to 3D print a sign from Thingiverse. But it would be small & I didn’t like the existing designs. So I went big with foam board. Sign is 46”w x 14”h. Letters, swoosh, & glider are 3D printed. #Dissky #WDW #Disneyworld #Epcot #Disney

When you need an indoor ride during the afternoon #Epcot thunderstorm. #WDW #Dissky #Disney

Seems more like "Southeast America", right? 🌎 #HokeyWx: tinyurl.com/waveweatherv...

Working on a Disney thing for our basement wall. Styrofoam, 3D printer, LED strip lights, oh my! #Epcot #Dissky #WDW #Disneyworld

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

I survived Oshkosh! Not sure if I gained weight from all the food; or lost it from all the walking. Either way, OSH was AMAZING. 🛩️ Here’s my review of 2025 #AirVenture from the point of view of a 1st timer. Aerosavvy.com/oshkosh2025

Yesterday I got to meet and hang out with @aerosavvy.com! He was so kind and funny and encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone a bit. 10/10 would hang out again. Pictured on the right is my friend Frosty who spent the day with us as well!

Oh, hello there, FiFi! B-29A Superfortress #AirVenture

Our P&W 747SP Test Bed departed to make room for another Boeing (really a McDonell Douglas), the C-17 Globemaster III

Titan Texans doing their thing at the nighttime #AirVenture airshow.

I’m no meteorologist, but I have a hunch this can’t be good. #AirVenture

The Mooney Anomaly at the #AirVenture Lycoming pavilion. Cool to see her in person!

National Park Service booth has cool badges.

My favorite toy store!

#AirVenture Exhibit Hangar D. Think state fair exhibit hall but ALL aviation… Except for the Gutter Guard lady. I can’t imagine she’ll sell a lot of gutters here, but good luck to her!

Free coffee ☕️ at Textron Aviation (Cessna/Beechcraft) pavilion!

A little moderate rain doesn’t stop the Titan AT-6 Texans and helicopter rides at #AirVenture

The (McDonnell Douglas) Boeing C-17 Globemaster III crew performed a nice reverse thrust demo after landing at #AirVenture

Beta Technologies eCTOL CX300 ELECTRIC aircraft. #AirVenture

Wingfoot One does a bounce ‘n go at today’s #AirVenture airshow.

Time to chat with the Hartzell folks and learn about my prop! #AirVenture

Slept in a bit. At my first seminar of the day: Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your Lycoming Engine

In the #AirVenture Boeing pavilion: One of the coolest uses of a large video screen. Life size view of the 777-8F upper deck being loaded. The buildings outside the cargo door look a lot like UPS Worldport wings.

Nathan Hammond flying his 1956 deHavilland Chipmunk “GhostWriter” #AirVenture

If anyone wants to give me a HondaJet, I promise to take good care of it.

Nice to see MTSU here. Their aerospace program has come a LONG way since 1987!

AOPA Sweepstakes plane. Gorgeous, restored Cessna 182 Skylane. #AirVenture

Fabric covering demo. #AirVenture

Watched my first seminar. Really good info about aircraft cleaning, polishing, sealing.

Beech Staggerwings! #AirVenture

A-10 Warthog low pass #AirVenture

Lunchtime! Brat & Oshkosh “Land on the Dot” Lager with my two friends Jeremy and Steve.

Piaggio P.180 Avanti #AirVenture

U2 Dragon Lady arrives at KOSH runway 36 #AirVenture

Dragon Lady chase crew standing by at the approach end of 36. #AirVenture

Teamwork makes the dream work. The Cirrus is free!

Cirrus touched down, turned off 36 onto the parallel grass taxiway and got stuck. We had some rain last night so there may be some mushy spots. Likely waiting for a tug and tow bar.

Basler conversion DC-3 (C-47?) with a couple PT6 turboprops. Holding short of 36. #Airventure

Waiting for the U2 to arrive on Runway 36. #AirVenture

Gonna be ugly for a few minutes as this storm moves through. Looks like arrivals have stopped. #AirVenture

Watched the Mooney Mass Arrival last night. We were on the wrong side of the airport to see them land, but taxiing was impressive. I lost count, but it was a LOT of Mooneys. The video shows maybe half of them? #AirVenture

Tower: “Cleared to land, spacing’s good” 😳 It wasn’t as close as it looks due to my vantage point and zoom. The twin is considerably faster. As long as the fast guy is in front, no problem. #AirVenture

KC-135 just rolled up to Boeing Plaza. Lots of arrivals today. #AirVenture.

Good morning from OSH. Making coffee ☕️ and cooking breakfast 🍳

First one here! (in our group) #Airventure

Driving to #AirVenture with my beloved Orange Bird antenna topper wouldn’t seem appropriate. So, I designed and printed a Cherokee Six. Much better! Drove at highway speeds with @ryanhoke.bsky.social in a chase car to observe. No significant vibration. We’re airworthy!

Our ADS-B Stream is up and running! Come watch and listen to ATC (currently tuned to KOSH Tower). youtube.com/@eaaradioads...

We watched fireworks last night for a holiday I used to love but now find nearly meaningless.
