Any new info from OSH? Since some of us had other commitments to work (that other 4 letter word) were unable to attend. An upcoming ORE demanded more attention than a trip to OSH.
The list has been eerily quiet post OSH? Any lessons learned?

We had 46 aircraft in the air at once. Yep there were some mistakes - one serious one, but no one traded paint. Orchestrating 46 aircraft is not an easy job and it was nice having Talon do the honors while I fussed over other things.
I was told by a number of people that it was the best OSH ever. If you were not there - well you just missed a once in a life time celebration. 50 years only come around once. Every day we had catered lunches. A pig roast one evening with unlimited beer/wine. Special shirt, a special coin with your formation position inscribed on the coin. A great banquet with lots of door prizes.
We flew every day except Thursday and Friday (Friday was a late show and would not have given us enough time to get to the banquet). I believe the smallest formation we put up was 25 aircraft (Saturday).
ETB was great too. A week before, I knew of only 12 aircraft that were signed up. Some 32 ended up there by Sunday. Craig Payne did a great job of setting up that whole thing. A lot of new guys there too. The FBO screw us some by not having a decent fuel truck (it only held 500 gal) which could not keep up. The repercussion of that caused us to be able to practice the "50" once before heading to OSH. That showed up during the show too unfortunately.
I think we're quite because we're all still tired!!!
"From this day to the ending of the world
But we in it shall be remember' d
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers:
For he today that fly's with me
Shall be my brother, be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That flew with us upon this AirVenture day"
(to paraphrase King Henry some what)
