This is a collection of my blog entries and experiences with flying, and learning to fly. Something I had been wanting to do for quite a while.
You can find all the pictures I've taken here, and read below for my experience.
Specifically, I have a page for my Trips to Oshkosh, the mecca for pilots
AOPA expo coming to our backyard was just not something I could miss, so I spent a couple of days at the San Jose convention center to see the expo, listen to some talks (quite good), and went to SJC to see the static plane displays.
I specifically enjoyed the talk from John & Martha King about flight safety, giving their own experience of stupid things they did and how it could have cost their life, so that we don't make the same mistakes.
"experience is a tough teacher: she gives the test first, and if you survive, then you get the lesson"
nice little plane to get around
always a nice picture to have :)
Anyway, I'm not sure this was a show to come from around the world to see, but it was still quite a good show, and something not attend if you are somewhat local.
