Carl Martin submitted this photo and note: “Early arrival to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022. My RV-7A awaits the arrival of thousands of friends. I fly as advance planner and go-fer for Lone Star Squadron, based in Houston, Texas. If you’ve never attended AirVenture, imagine a family reunion atmosphere with thousands of old and new friends, combining technology and heritage, and millions of flying stories available by just asking your new friend on the tram ride or standing beside that dream aircraft.”

Regan Richmond submitted this photo and note: “A monsoon over the dry Southern Utah desert. A daily occurrence this time of year if you can just be in the right spot.”

“Lisa has been dealing with the after-effects of breast cancer since surgery,” Terk explains. “While she’s cancer free…again…we’ve had a bit of down time as a residual of the chemo. During one of our regular Scrabble games, Lisa proposed an aviation challenge game. Any word, phrase, acronym that we both agreed on was game.”
