As many of you know, this week would be the EAA AirVenture event in Oshkosh, WI. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, this event has been cancelled. However, this event will still be happening virtually thanks to an Oshkosh local, @JarretFlies. Instead of flying commercially up to Wisconsin, I decided to dust off my 1972 C172N and take part in a legendary journey to Oshkosh from my home airport of Boca Raton, FL. My first leg would take me across the entirety of a Florida’s eastern coast up to a Fernandina Beach, a small seaside town on the border with Georgia.

Airplane: Cessna 172
Route: (KBCT) Boca Raton to (KFHB) Fernandina Beach

I am definitely thinking it will be Chicago Executive to Oshkosh, if not I will do a long flight to Milwaukee Timmerman Airport. I am really not sure yet
I’ll hope along if available and you’re cool with it. I am from Chicago originally, live in Milwaukee now (Fly into and out of Timmerman a lot) and fly mainly out of West Bend so I might meet ya if ok.
Nice pics! I’ll also be flying in to KOSH from my home airport, Austin! I’ll be flying from Austin executive in my Xcub. I found a mixture trick that might help me reach chicago direct, then continue to OshKosh. I’ll see you there, it will be a 9-10 hour journey for me, minimum, leaving tmrw night!
If you are up for it we can meet up at Chicago Executive! Right now my route is Boca Raton-Fernandina Beach-Western Carolina Rgnl Airport-Terre Haute-Chicago-Oshkosh.
