I thought there would be lots of tales about the trip to OSH and other 601 stuff on here after "Oshkosh".

What's going on?? Did I miss something??

Hi Bobby,

     

     I went to Oshkosh.  I tried to capture it with still images on my     Nikon.  I failed.  It is just too big.

     

     I went to the dinner honoring Chris Heintz.  He was there with Paul     Poberezny - the founder of EAA.  Both men spoke.  Paul stole the     show.  At 90 years old he is still building airplanes.  It must be     a  hobby that is good for your health.

     

     I was mostly interested in the electric aircraft symposium (the     second annual, and my second).  There were lots of interesting     speakers including Sergey Sikorsky - the second generation leader of     his namesake helicopter company.  He was almost as old as Paul     Poberezny and still going strong.  I guess building helicopters is     just as good for your health as building airplanes.

     

     Perhaps the highlight of the electric symposium was a report about     the experimental electric helicopter project at Sikorsky.  It only     flies for 10 or 15 minutes, but is designed as a project to "Warm     up" for future certified electric aircraft production.  Another     great speaker was Abas Goodarzi - the contractor for the electric     power plant on the Sikorsky electric helicopter project.  He had a     very interesting slide showing electric powered airplanes are very     practical with a requirement of around 120 KW per ton lifted.      Helicopters need around 5 or 6 times that much power per ton to lift     it.

     

     There were over 500,000 people and over 10,000 airplanes at     Oshkosh.  So, I just told about .00001 percent of the Oshkosh story.
