Note: The Exhaust Valve Borescoping and Lapping Presentation at Oshkosh was so much fun, and I met some fantastic people.

Final approach to runway 27 – Land on the “Green Dot!”

I met Bret Chilcott from Neodesha Kansas, and listened to his excellent presentation about Stinson 108 aircraft, and what a value they are.

So many sleek and fast airplanes at AirVenture!

I managed to grab a quick picture with Mike Busch… he did 13 seminars this year!

Check out one of the stunningly beautiful float planes there:

Jack Swift was the first person to purchase my video course, “Safety Wire Like A Pro!” I met him at Boeing Plaza, between the Boeing 747 and the 787. What a great guy!

Chris Palmer with AviatorTraining.com was there, and it was great to meet him in person! I gotta get a new hat for next year… that thing is ridiculous 🙂 Check out Chris on Instagram @angleofattack – he got a ride in the back seat of one of the Aeroshell Team T-6’s! Well done Chris!

Bob Ripley was in the ABS tent, and I got to thank him for his help… he’s a walking encyclopedia of Bonanza and Baron knowledge! Having access to Bob for technical questions, in my opinion, is one of the best benefits of ABS membership.

It was also a great privilege to meet Joe Godfrey and Dave Pasquale. Joe is an engine monitor and analysis expert, and Dave is a borescoping and valve lapping expert. Both of these guys work with Savvy Aviation, and Dave also has his own maintenance shop, Pasquale Aviation, LLC, in Pottstown, PA.

Finally, don’t miss the story behind this picture…
I saw this guy with his young family and decided to take a picture to get his information. I forgot about it until today when I was looking through my photos. His story is absolutely inspiring. Listen to the audio for this episode, and then check out his website:
