TBM "Ida Red" was on the ramp at KVPZ at 1:30PM today. I'm assuming its on its way to KOSH.

Just saw the Lancaster lifting off out of Hamilton about 20 minutes ago. The B-25 was ahead of her.
Not sure if Rick got away early with the Lysander or not. Weather has been terrible here the last week, and looks like today is the only good day!
Wish i was out to Oshkosh this year. Still haven't made the trek, always something going on at this end.
