I returned to the airfield at Oshkosh today, Millie decided to stay home with the girls. It was a long hot day on our feet yesterday and if Airventure hadn’t been on my bucket list for so long, I might have done the same. I left early and arrived at the airfield at 8am and headed straight for the ultralight flying field. It lies at the extreme edge of the property so the ultra lights can operate at the same time as the activities on the main runway.
The highlight of my day was flying; I flew in a light sport version of an ultralight called the M-Squared Breese 2 SS LSA. It is a single surface, high wing, side-by-side, two-place ultralight type aircraft, with a maximum take-off weight of 1320 lbs. The wings are aerodynamic strut braced, with a multiple tube-braced tail. The landing gear is a tri-cycle arrangement with a steerable nose wheel.
Tomorrow we leave here and head south toward Chicago, which we will just pass thru as we skirt around the bottom of Lake Michigan. We will stop for the night east of Chicago and then head for our next destination, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Ohio.
