Let it be said that 2008 will be the last year that I don’t got to AirVenture in Oshkosh. For the uninitiated, it’s the Mecca of Aviation every year. Now that I’m an EAA member, with an instrument rating I really have no excuse not to go any more. This year they announced the Icon, the SPOT Messenger was apparently a big hit (I just ordered one to document my flights), and an all-electric airplane flew. Two of my friends (Lisa and Adam) were there, and apparently Esther Dyson was there. I did not know she was into aviation.
