#OSH15 on the Fly Too!

Aux Vet 2FRIDAY was an amazing day at everybody’s favorite aviation event. It was “Thank a Vet Day,” and I spent all day doing just that!

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VETERANS OUT THERE!!!

Lots of Viet Nam vets, Korean conflict, even a few precious vets from WWII were on hand! American Airlines even flew in an MD-80 full of vets from DC!

The Air Show featured several 50’s era fighters, from the beginning of the jet age!

MORE BLOG BUDDIES!

  I’ve been so delighted to continue meet you all, such as volunteer Charlie—hey, Charlie, thank you for your time working at this great event!

Aux Slav

Aux Chip 5

Formation Bloggers Leland and I—hey, what’s that F-4 doing photobombing us! (literally!)

  I also got to meet in person a fellow Formation Blogger, Leland Shanle, author of 4 fantastic historical WWII novels!

  Veteran Leland is a expert in all things aviation and military, and he even did a talk in the morning about the restoration of a 727!

 

Leland Shanle and Code Name Infamy

 

I did a great live Periscope video broadcast of the F22 flyby, as Leland talked about his latest novel, “Code Name Infamy!”

Since Leland and I both have novels that begin with “Code Name,” we just had to trade books!

Gettin’ Serious with Jessica Cox

As you recall, Jessica premiered her documentary “Rightfooted” at Oshkosh, and every showing has been standing room only—she even sold out of her excellent book, “Disarm Your Limits!”
