I'm taking a few days of vacation, then heading out to the Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wis. Among the headliners will be the Rocket Racing League as well as aerospace designer Burt Rutan and Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson, fresh from their rollout of SpaceShipTwo's mothership, the White Knight Two.
For the rest of this week, the posting schedule will be as light as I can make it. Dispatches from the Big Sky Tour will begin on Monday.
