EAA Airventure - Oshkosh Bound!

The company plane N927LE (turboprop) and N427LE (Lycoming iE2 piston) are en route to Oshkosh as of 6:30AM PDT (1330UTC) and they can be followed on FlightAware a live flight tracking website where you can track private aircraft by the tail number.  You can also track commercial flights and flights from specific airports.  You can watch the Lancair Evolution's by clicking on the tail number (N927LE and N427LE) so you can see the track, speed and altitude.  This time of year we have to get an early start because the buildups that occur in the midwest are not so fun to fly in.


The Evolution powered by the Lycoming iE2 is an impressive solution by incorporating electronic control to increase overall engine efficiency.

Oops. Well, that was not as easy as I thought . Now we need lean the words of Theodore Roosevelt for his take on the “easy” button. “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied
