OK I actually do have more to add about our OSH trip and a few pictures. I will add them this weekend.

One real COOL event happened on our last hop of the trip from RIC to CCB. We had flight following (Tami insists on it which is fine with me as she does most of the radio work. Nice having your own CTO siting next to you). We were at 10500 approaching Nellis AFB. We had heard for several minutes 2 flights (wish I could remember there names they were cool) so we knew they were heading our way. Nellis approach turned us to 260 degrees and told us there were 4 "Raptors" that were going to be flying by. We immediately got eyes on the first two. level with us but not to close. Two miles or so. Wow we told each other that is cool. Then we were told the other two would be slightly above us at 12 O'Clock. We were looking WAY to far in the distance. These two bad boys were probably 1000 above us and 1000 to 2000 feet away at 12 O'Clock if that!

That was the best air show EVER! We were cleared back on course and switched over to Las Vegas approach but before we changed we thanked Nellis for the air show and they told us no problem.

Highlight #1 of the trip was Tami was with me. Highlight #2 was by far the F22 Raptors!
