Tim, I wish. I'm planning on Oshkosh this year, but it will be on my dime. Sadly, I've never been able to go due to school or other responsibilities, but this is the year. My grandfather usually flies his Bonanza up there each year, I'll be able to go with him.

I'm working engineering field support for the Beech Premier as a project engineer. Our role is to investigate repair issues as they come up, and if it's a design flaw, fix it. It's pretty interesting, lots of coordination between different areas of the company, lots of investigation to build a case. I'm more or less running my own projects, which I really enjoy. It should be hugely beneficial for the future, as I aspire towards management.
