Well I survived Sun'n Fun ,

living in Europe this  was my first opportunity to have a holiday in USA

during one of the two big  airshows: Yippee !!!!!! , arriving in  Florida on

Monday to torrential  rain  , i  decided  not to go on the Tuesday  as it

"might be a bit Muddy ",

Wednesday  ,  the weather channel was advising all but essential travel

since  a major storm was sweeping across  central Florida  , so i  didn't go

again  , thinking it could only get better . Thursday I woke to driving rain

again ,  and a forecast of  more storms including  tornado warnings, i

thought  they must have been joking as this was still  March so decided

again  to stay put , ( just as well when a tornado hit the field).

 Friday morning was  blue skies , so into the car , "Yippee" finally off to

Sun n Fun , i then spent 3.5 hours  in a traffic jam  trying  to get into

the mud carparks. Finally got in to the show ground at 14:30  just as the

airshow was starting , which was nice  but nothing special ( particularly

since it consisted mainly all day of the Blue Angels doing  practice routines

, in preparation for their Saturday show ) ,

Once inside  with the exception of seeing all the carnage  from the previous

day, (which was breaking my heart seeing  the owners particularly

homebuilders trying to salvage what they could )   there were just a handful

of planes  in the homebuilt  parking area , and having spent too much time

trying to photograph either the blues or the raptor , only managed a quick

visit to two of the hangers , before it all closed at 5:00p

Saturday  i  left for Europe again  ( "Delta" lost my Luggage , but  they

have  now  found it in Detroit ?) ,

so  my  dream vacation  was not a success,



Question : what is the weather in Oshkosh normally like , before I book my

tickets

I flew my Kis4 there on Saturday and the ramp was full of homebuilts.

Too bad we couldn't meet up.
