Oshkosh Day Trip

This morning was wet and thundery......we turned over and went back to sleep!

 

About 9.30am we woke again and the weather had fined up, so we got up and by the time we had done some stuff around the RV, it was after lunch....

 

We headed up to Oshkosh to the EAA, The Spirit of Aviation Museum, about half an hour further west around Lake Winnebago.

 

The Museum was very well set out and then we went over to the Pioneer

 Training room poster....

 

 

 

 I had a chance to go for a joy ride in a 1929 Bi-Plane....for a small fee $75, but worth it, the pilot Doug, like to show the the plane was capable of once in the air, doing figure 8s, stalls, nose dives & turning sharp on turns, yes lots of fun, we had head phones so he was explaining each move.

 

We had to check the pilot was having a good day before Daryl went up as they make you sign out of any liability.....  Doug reckoned he was having a pretty good day.....





Up, up and away.......

Looking down I41 towards Fond du Lac

 

Roger, roger do you hear me?

 

 

 

After the museum we drove into Oshkosh to have a look around and try to find the lake... which proved not to be easy as no road drove around it as you would expect, just dead ends out to it....

 

So we stopped for some frozen custard, which we had seen around but not tried yet.  If you didn't know any better you would think this was ice cream.
