 My dad flying the Breezy the day we bought it: November 1980 heading from TN to IN

 

 All loaded up and ready to head for Oshkosh 1982!

 

 About half way there and ready to get back in the air

 Podcast #4 is finally here.  Sorry for the delay... but better late than never as I often have to say!  It's a pretty good one tho, be sure to check it out.

 I intro with a little info on the Red Bull Air Races as well as some more details on my homebuilt airplane (Project VP) that's now under construction.  I have a t-shirt for sale to help me fund the project as I try really hard to get it built in time for Oshkosh 09.  If you're interested in details on how to get the very special $50 shirt, please send me an email at mcc@airpigz.com and I'll fill you in right away.  Your help is really needed!

 Anyway, the biggest part of this podcast is my account of a really cool and exciting trip on the homebuilt 'Breezy' aircraft pictured here from Mentone, IN to Oshkosh, WI back in 1982.  It turned out to be quite an adventure of 300 miles, 13 airports and 2 days long.

 It was a great trip overall to what I believe to be the greatest place on earth!  And that's not just because of all the airplanes, but because of the people.  Oshkosh is truly something very special, and I hope you'll be there so we can meet.  And hopefully, Project VP will be there too!
