Airventure 2017 Trip in N8432L

Member Aaron Baruch flew 32L to Oshkosh for Airventure 2017. This was his first time flying-in to Oshkosh and it took careful weight & balance planning, fuel management and weather planning. Also along as passengers were his father and Mark Jaeger. Nice job captain!

Camping in the vintage area near some other really cool planes since N8432L is a 1968 and is classified as a “vintage”

Matt Payne being congratulated by CFI Mark Jaeger after passing his Private Pilot practical on July 20th.

Matt did a great job despite the added pressure of having an FAA observer on board the plane who was “observing” how the DPE examiner did.

The extra weight of a 3rd person in the back seat and associated CG change added an additional challenge.
