Aug 04, 2022 AirVenture 2022 Category: Research
I attended AirVenture 2022. My first trip to OSH and it was all that I had hoped for. I flew to ORD then rented a car and drove to OSH. I was able to stay at a private home which was very close to the AirVenture Venue. Tom Massey was kind enough to bring up a small camping chair and umbrella for me to use at the airshow. My first day was on Sunday, before the show and I was able to see the EAA Museum at a leisurely pace. Monday I had a mission. I had a shopping list and wanted to get right on it. My first stop was Van's tent to see if I could make a deposit on my engine and prop any maybe get some kind of discount if not discounted shipping. Sorry to say no luck with this. They said to just order it on their website. I did get to see the RV-15 prototype and meet some YouTube folks, Christine The Plane Lady and her husband Tyler, as well as Jason Ellis. Next stop was Matco. I was able to order their RV-10 Wheel and Brake package. At least Matco gave me free shipping. Then I found Aveo Engineering and spoke to Damian. Here I was able to order my ZipTips. Other stops were to Evoke where I met Jonathan, Lycoming to talk to them about engine options, E-Mags where I learned that they may become a Lycoming option soon, Sporty's to check out hand held radio and Stein where I got $1000 T-shirt from Stein himself !! I also stopped by the ASA booth as I worked for ASA back in 1978. It was nice to see their success over the years. The night airshow was the pinnacle of the event. Over all it was a very successful trip and I look forward to doing it again. The good news is that when I got home, I ordered and made a deposit on my Engine and Propeller.
