Podapalozza at Airventure 2011!

July 29, 2011

Hi gang.  Thursday night, July 28, 2011, aviation podcasters from around the world met at Airventure 2011 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin for Podapalooza 2011!  Along with the audio and video podcasters there were fans and general hangers-on (hangars-on?) like me!  The event was simulcast by LiveATC.com for podcast fans around the world and the Twitter stream was alive with comments!

The event was graciously hosted by Sennheiser at their very well-appointed tent.  Below are a few photos from the event.

Sennheiser was the host location for this evening event.  Nice digs, and lots of people!

Airventure is about new and old friends.  Met and reaquainted with many, like Milford Shirley of “FlightTime Radio” (red shirt with the devilish smirk) and Grant and Steve from “Plane Crazy Down Under” ( wearing black shirts left of Milford, they’re Australian, mate).  So many good people, but too many names to remember, and I blame it all on the Jeremiah Weed (whiskey) samples being passed around…

The party got so rowdy, the cops came.  Ok, it wasn’t the real cops.  It was a prop car announcing Da Blooze Bros, performing at the Ford stage at Airventure.  Cool car, and dig the HUGE speaker on top.  A hit!

I’m sure each of the podcasters will have their own stories and pictures to post, but I wanted to get something out there as well.

Thanks for the invite!!


Bonanzas to Oshkosh – Airventure 2011

July 23, 2011

Two days before the official start of EAA Airventure 2011, but it’s already pretty busy here.

Today was the mass arrival of the Bonanzas to Oshkosh, B2OSH. I understand there were 109 planes, Bonanzas and Barons. I’ve been flying with the Northern California Bonanzas for formation training, so I took the opportunity to shoot some photos of the B2OSH arrival.

Here a sample below. Good job guys (and gals)!  The crowd was impressed!


New Garmin GTN 650 Avionics!

July 10, 2011

Finally joining the GPS age, for IFR that is. New Garmin GTN 650 system installed. So far, so good! Operating logic is well thought out. Love the remote Transponder controls.

Installed by Gryphon Aircraft Services LLC, in French Valley, CA (F70).  Ask for Ron!

Cheers!
