In typical Oshkosh fashion, we were working on the airplane until after midnight the night before we left, but we got it together and departed on Thursday morning July 22nd. After a couple of overnights along the way and the normal weather dodging, we arrived at a soggy Oshkosh on Saturday afternoon and settled in for a wonderful week.
The Caudron was extremely popular and very well received and we were pleased and honored to received a nice award as runner-up antique replica. We all had a great time showing the airplane and anwering questions, especially “how do you fit in this thing?”.
Monday morning we pulled up stakes and started a hot ride home. The middle of the country was absolutely baking, but we arrived home without incident on Tuesday evening.
What a great trip and thanks to everyone involved, Tom, Christophe, Stephane, John, Nando, and everyone else at home and in the shop who helped pull this one off and were rooting for us the whole way.
I never want to do this again! Until next year…….
