Hey -- going off the "Fruit Diet" for 8 days in OSH I gained FIVE
pounds!

So how was the flight home? Did the weather cooperate? Did you hook
up with a co-pilot? (Ahem, so to speak...)

Curious about one pic:

Sunday Departure - "Taxiing past the warbirds section..."

.... was that Ju-52 for real or a replica?

It's real.

Well, see, John's photo makes you look almost svelte! It's all in the camera angle.

Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to
use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks.

That appears to be the same one that was there the last time I attended. It's real.

It's real, and freshly re-painted.

Last year it was looking like JU-52's probably did near the end of WWII
-- a real war-horse. Now, it's as beautiful as they can make one of
the ugliest planes ever made...

I *lost* 5 pounds. As for company, yup. United crew joined me. Based
in Denver, so it worked out well. Got home Tuesday just before lunch.

Never again. You midwesterners may call what was there vis 10 and
ceiling 12K, but for us westerners, no way! If I can't see
Pikes Peak from my front yard (it's 60 sm away), then I don't fly
in that direction!

I'm spoiled.
