Oshkosh - Day 2 - July 27

Day 2 was spent hanging out on the flight line watching arrivals. After our $15 breakfast we parked it along 36 right runway. Winds were out of the west, so most traffic was landing on 27 but that gave us the opportunity to watch peoples cross-wind landing skills. The other thing that absolutely flabbergasts us is the number of pilots arrving that obviously haven't ready (or comprehend) the NOTAM. After awhile we headed back to the tent for a bit and then over to the flight line on runway 27. Had a $15 late lunch and back to the tent for a nap under the plane. Next we headed over to Target and Pick-n-Save to get groceries as $15 meals will kill us. I paid $2.75 for a bottle of water on the field and $.50 over at Target and a brat stand. Ugh! For evening entertainment we headed to Theatre in the Woods to watch an "aviation humorist" who was OK but not that funny. Then Cathe Fish spoke about the 'lighter side of fligh instructing' which was as funny as the humorist.

We seem to have issues with air mattresses. Last year we borrowed one from my mom and it wouldn't hold air for more than a night or two. This year we bought a "guaranteed not to leak" one... that also leaks. Sandi cracked me up this morning when we woke up and said we were like to hot dogs in a bun! If we sleep next to each other it kinda folds up on us. :-) Oh well....
