We loaded up the truck and the RV (with the Pitts 14 fuselage in tow) and headed up on Thursday, July 22. On the way to Oshkosh, we stopped by Jeff Robert' house to deliver a freshly-minted set of Skybolt Delta wings... Jeff is one of our initial beta builders and is making good progress on his Delta project. The remainder of the trip went pretty smoothly and we all looked forward to another great convention.

|
|
Thursday morning: everything's packed and we're ready to roll!
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's no doubt about where this RV is headed to!
|
|
|
|
|
|
An unusual sight for a tire repair shop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At a truck stop, we ran into a Civil Air Patrol group from Connecticut coming back from a CAP event in Indiana.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's not too much room left once the truck is loaded up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We stopped at Jeff Robert's place in Indianapolis to drop off the wings for his Skybolt Delta project. Jeff is an experienced builder and is helping us to tweak the final design.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As you can see, Jeff is making excellent progress on it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Carefully extricating the wings from the truck was almost a mini-project in itself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The guys carry the wings in.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The wings have a safe, secure storage location in Jeff's shop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We saw some interesting sights along the way.

|
|
"EAA Air Show"... now that is an understatement!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many motorists did a double-take when we drove by, Model 14 in tow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FINALLY HERE! Paul and Sherry Goetsch celebrate a safe arrival (to Oshkosh, that is!)
