Last Saturday Scott Grote, Dave Shelly and I traveled to Oshkosh, Wisconsin to represent MMS Aviation at AirVenture 2011. A local organization, Mission Aviation Support Association, arranges housing, meals, transportation, and speaking engagements in churches for mission aviation personnel who come to AirVenture. I spoke in both morning services at Valley Baptist Church in Appleton. The 8:00 AM service, along with a fifty minute drive to get there, made me be an early riser. Later in the day we gathered in Oshkosh with representatives of all the mission aviation organizations for a meal together and an orientation session for the week ahead. It was a great time of seeing friends again as well.

Today was a beautiful day here in Oshkosh. Tim Obarow and I worked the early shift at the MMS Aviation display. Monday morning crowds are generally light, but we talked to several people who showed interest in MMS. In the afternoon Tim and I looked around to see what was at AirVenture this year.
The main "street" of AirVenture will be much more crowded later in the week.
Tim and I visited the Maverick flying car exhibit. The Maverick is being developed by Steve Saint and the folks at
ITEC. It was fun to talk to Steve for a few minutes this afternoon.
