Wheels up at 8:00 am Saturday. Should be in my parking spot by 9:30 am.
Reviewing catalogs for what I need and might want to purchase helps pass the
time.

[Steven Barnes]

I'm not heading for Oshkosh, but if the weather's nice, I may try to drop
by for the pool party.

nah, I'm in MA waiting for the DNC. I'm curious to see how much

Sounds great!

Why no OSH? It's the only place to be during the last week of July!

Can we settle on a designated time/place/process for rec.aviation.* denizens to
get together? I'll be arriving Friday eve and departing Monday mid-day.

I'll be arriving by airline to Chicago and staying in a motel, but would enjoy
catching up with my rec.aviation friends if possible. Of course I have Jay's
N-number :-), and some other one's from last year's postings.

Dang -- the rec.aviation party is Wednesday night. Sorry about the
timing...

We will be at our site most (but not all) evenings after the airshow, if you
can drop by, we'll have a cold one ready for ya!

Shoot. I must have missed the thread where that was worked out. OK, I'll look

Hi Pete -- We'll be somewhere in the North Forty camping area. There is no
way to tell where, exactly -- they park us sequentially as we arrive, and
there are THOUSANDS of airplanes.

Just go to the North 40 camping check-in booth, and give them my "N" number
(below), and the nice EAA folks will vector you right to our row and site

Well...not exactly crawling out of my skin (an image I didn't really need of
you Jay)...but definitely getting ready for the big adventure heading there
from the left coast. Plan is to be wheels up Saturday at 7:00, call it a
day in Scottsbluff, NE, then arrive in Fon du Lac Sunday afternoon...all
weather permitting of course. You did order up some good weather, right
Jay? :-)

Looking forward to seeing everyone Wednesday or if we manage to bump into
one another during the week.

As someone else replied, no time or money. My wife is expecting the first
of October. Gotta save up my vacation time... ;-)

Keep a nice bubble of good weather over the area. I guess if the weather
goes bad I can just put on the foggles...

[john smith]

Okay, it looks like it will be the "stretch"-182 this year, same as last
year.
Another club member has the airplane until Monday night, but in the
event he gets back early, I may arrive by Monday night, weather
permitting. If I leave Tuesday morning, I'll be there by noon.

Thou shalt attend!

Montblack is bringing food, etc., this year, so we don't get too inebriated
before supper, whilst Jim is bringing Da Grill. (I hope!)

I'm looking forward to having women dance on my plane again this year...

George, George, GEORGE.

We've been attending Oshkosh for 22 straight years.

To put that in perspective, in 1982 I was 23 years old, a year out of
college, working as an entry level district manager in a small-town
newspaper, and still DATING Mary.

Since then, I've worked for four different newspapers, started three (and
closed two) businesses, gotten married, had two children, moved three times
(once to a different state), and made, lost, and made (and may lose) a
fortune.

In ALL that time, the ONLY constant in my life has been Oshkosh.

Oshkosh ain't heaven, but it's damned close. Don't miss it -- for anything.

Hee hee! In 1990 I attended OSH without Mary -- cuz she was due to deliver
on or about the first of August!

I called her (from a pay phone -- no cell phone for me until later that
year!) every hour on the hour, to make sure she was okay. (She and I
delivered our son on August 10th.)

So don't worry -- just call her every so often!

:-)

It is guaranteed to be good. After all -- it's Oshkosh!

Let me know what the food/shopping situation is for those of us campers
who dont fly our food in. I hear the options nearby (piggly wiggly and
walmart) are getting scarce.. No hurry on my account.. this is planning
for next year..

Maybe EAA or the FBO will bring a vendor in who can provide the
perishables and disposables within walking distance next year.

Dave, there are other sources, just a couple blocks farther to walk.
The AirVenture page has a link with a list and YaHoo maps.
An Aldi and a Pick N Save are about a mile over by the highway.

Dancing on wing can be done! We are leaving in a few minutes to attend (via
auto). The plane should be ready as soon as OSH is over :-(

When Jay's paying to have the stiffener that's underneath his wingwalk
replaced (which is NOT a minor fix), he'll regret having 3 woman dancing
on the wingwalk at the same time.

It will be at OSH, and next problem is getting it to your site. Get cozy
with the gate guards, that will have to let me by Wen. afternoon. I'll
touch base with you on the best route before then.

I'm hooking up lights and putting on a plate tomorrow. I usually pull it
local without either, but 1,000 miles is different than local. <g>

Atlas stood up pretty well to THAT kind of treatment... (I can't say the

Actually, they have gone the other direction, and closed down the camp store
that used to be out near the North 40. Don't know why, but it was sure
nice for picking up ice on the way back to the site after the airshow...

Yea. That was really what I was refering to. If I was you, I wouldn't
let three of them dance on the wing walk at the same time. The underlying
cracking won't be immediately obvious. You'll find out one day, at a very
expensive annual.
