KR> Oshkosh!

Yippee! My son Cedric is going to the EAA Advanced Air Academy before AirVenture, and then volunteering at AirVenture - so now I have a great excuse to come to AirVenture this year!! Just made plans last night. I’ll be arriving on a Greyhound this year, a bit of a step down from last year’s
