I will be getting in Sunday afternoon, leaving the next Sunday or Monday.
I'll have the mother of all grills with me, although it is unknown, whether
I can get it into the North 40, or not. Worst comes to worst, I could do
the cooking at the Explorer Base (right next to the North 40, and bring the
food in. What food needs to be brought? I might could bring some along,
since I'm ground bound.

I'll gladly take any rides around the pattern(s) offered to me! <g>

I'll be flagging on 18 36, at times. Big orange floppy hats! One guy said
he could see the hats from the pattern, a couple years ago.! Cool!, but I
wish he would have been watching traffic, ect, instead! :-) How about
everyone flying in make another cardboard sign (in addition to the other
suggested signs) to put in your windshield with the letters RAP? Leave
them, so we will know to introduce ourselves. I think I might put one on my
hat, too.

It's easy -- simply avoid buying beer that is brewed by the mega-ton, and
you'll probably do okay!

Jim and Gail in the BlueOnBlue-OneEightyTwo will be with you at the Pool Party
on Sunday, Monday to Oshkosh, Thursday and Friday forums, and westbound Friday
afternoon.

Have you picked a "talk-to-me" frequency from that list I sent you yet?

Somebody suggested that we put RAP on a window sticker. I'll do that on the
"Oshkosh Bound" poster and have it up for download this afternoon (Sunday).

The Allison brothers (and our Dad this year) will be there. N119AZ, white
fixed gear C-182, parking at Fon du Lac, staying at Marion College. Planned
arrival is Monday, planned departure is Saturday. Actual arrival/departure
subject to whatever mother nature throws in our path on the trek from the
left coast.

Hope to see you all at Jay's campsite Wednesday night.

I'd suggest folks flying in post their tail numbers since you can go to the
ticket booths and ask one of the fine volunteers to lookup where a plane is
parked. Worked like a charm finding Jay & Mary's campsite last year.

I hate it when that happens! Last year, about two months before OSH, I get
a call "8240L is down for maintenance...some idiot ran the left wing into a
pole while parking at the fuel station". Ugh. Fortunately my brother's FBO
had a fairly new 172SP available as a plan-B airplane.

Hope you get some good news re: the airplane being ready in time.

I'm still not sure if I'll be flying N93332 or driving the Miata again to
OSH this year. I'm hesitant on my first flight into OSH which would be solo.
It'll also depend if I can get time off work...

You gotta fly, man. There's nothing to it!

I'm trying to get Mary's gumption up to give it a go this year -- although,
to be honest, I think it'll be harder on me to be a passenger. Other years
she has flown out -- but never in.

She knows the procedures, she has been through it multiple times. Put
that video cam to use with one of the kids in the back recording the
whole episode. Plug the intercom in so as to have the dialog.
She has to do it!!
We can even present her and any other first timer with an award on
Wednesday (don't ask me what it would be, I haven't thought that far
ahead, yet)

[Dan Truesdell]

Jay,

Any stats on when "good" times are? We arrived about 6:00 PM Monday
night last year, and it was a piece of cake. Just before the initial
entry point, we had C180 traffic on our right and a Grumman on our left.
(And some dude in a Bo on an IFR approach. Why, I don't know.
Weather was clear and 100.) I was initially given the numbers on 9, but
then told to hit the white dot, cause the Bo was closing on me. Really,
was not a big deal. We did have our heads on swivels, though. (I'd be
interested to hear about the traffic at other times.)

Dan - Last year, we arrived Monday morning around 9:00 and traffic was
relatively light. Between Ripon and landing on runway 09, we only saw about
6 other planes. The guy in front of us was probably 3/4 of a mile ahead and
it sounded like someone was right behind us as we had to put it on the white
dot.

Hey Greg...fly to Fon du Lac, pick me up, and we'll fly to OSH...what do you

Hmmm, potentially sleeping in the miata or flying solo 1st time to

I picture a small wooden base, like a trophy, with a slot , say 1/8th wide,
holding a piece of 1/8th steel sheet. All that is needed is a machine shop
with a broach to crank out a few. Heck, let the pilot pound the dowel rod
through the hole upon arrival, as part of the ceremony!

Try over at rec.aviation.homebuilt for some machinist types. Or your local
machinist could crank some out pretty cheap.

Hi Jay,

I'll be there exhibiting in Hangar C booth 3076 for the first time
this year. Look forward to seeing people from this newsgroup...

Traffic can be very hit & miss (sorry!) going into OSH. We usually try to
arrive the day before the event starts, but this "traffic avoidance
procedure" seems to have caught on with many pilots. Thus, I'm not sure of
this, but I think the HEAVIEST day now may be the day before it starts.

We've also arrived on the first day, and that can be a bit hairy, but I've
never run into anything that was too uncomfortable.

You're right, I think evening arrivals, well after the airshow, are usually
the lightest. Just don't try to arrive RIGHT after the airshow, as there
will be a holding pattern release from Rush Lake -- at which point you've
really got the "square peg into a round hole" effect.

In fact, right after the airshow is when we always set up our lawn chairs at
our campsite, and crack a few cold ones -- cuz it's the best air show
anywhere...

To each his own, but flying into OSH and parking your plane along with
the thousands of others there ranks as one of the life's most
satisfying aviation experiences. You do have to have a level of
confidence about doing it, but the challenges are mostly mental.

I flew into OSH the first time in 1999 with one year's experience as a
private pilot. I had to leave my cherokee in Iowa with engine problems
(another story!) and finish the trip to OSH in a rental 172. We
arrived early morning on the next to last day of the show, and I was
actually a little disappointed that traffic wasn't heavier. They were
landing one at a time and not using the dots.

The last time, in 2001, we flew in mid-morning on the day before
opening, and we had the full meal deal...jockeying for position over
the railroad tracks, holding over Rush Lake, S-turns on downwind to
stay behind the traffic ahead, landing three at a time on 27 with ATC
switching landing order on final. It wasn't really technically any
more difficult, but you had to mentally suspend the "rules" that you
normally fly by and follow your instructions.

A second set of eyes can help, but the first year it was my wife
saying "oh my God" a lot. The last time it was my non-flying nephew
who was just in awe of the whole experience. This year, and to make a
long story short and return to the thread, it will be this myself and
this same nephew, who is now an instrument rated private pilot working
on his commercial ticket.

Jay, unfortunately, due to schedule conflicts, we will be arriving
Friday, after the RAP get-together on Wednesday. Hope to run into any
Rec aviation stragglers staying through the weekend.

Most woodworkers can make these. They're called mortises. The old-fashioned way to
make them is to drill out the center and chop the rest out with chisels, but there
are mortise cutters for use in drill presses.

SURELY you can pop up to OSH for a day or two, if you are so close!

I mean, we're talking a five hour drive, or a two hour flight...and you're
all the way from the Left Coast!

Jay, I'm sorry, but Oshkosh water is the number one reason for bottled water. I
can't drink the stuff!! When we bring the full camping set up (meaning I'm
cooking, not eating out) I freeze tap water from home in gallon jugs to make the
coffee. Bottled water is getting to be standard if you don't like the taste of
chlorine, or chloromine.

Ron and I will be driving in :-( (The plane should be finished during OSH!).
We will be camping in Sallie's Alley (volunteer camping in the vintage area).
Ron will be parking airplanes and I'll be in the Vintage Flight Line Ops
shack. Drop by and say hi! We plan to arrive the Friday before the show and
stay for the duration (or until we get sick of it, which is usually the
duration). I will bring WINE to the party as I'm an iconoclast!

Great to hear you guys are going to make it again this year!

Wine, eh? You, Mary and Christine will have to reprise your dance act
on Atlas' wing, if you insist on partaking of the grape again...

(BTW: I hope this moist, tropical weather pattern clears for OSH. As
I'm writing this I'm stuck in Lansing, Michigan, waiting for the fog
to lift yet again. I've never seen such a wet, dreary spring and
early summer... It has literally rained every day! The farmers are
loving it -- this year the corn in Iowa was SHOULDER HIGH by the
Fourth of July...)

Latest update:
I got a call from my flying club today.
The least damaged of the two 182's was returned to service last
Thursday. This is the "stretch" 182 I flew to OSH last year.
The second damaged 182 is still in the shop. The rebuilt engine is now
being installed.
Now, get this... this is a 1998 C182S. I has the full stack of new King
avionics, including the KN94 moving map GPS. I have just been informed
that, while the airplane is down, the owner is having a new, $20,000,
avionics stack installed!
As a result, he wants it kept in the local area for two weeks following
its return to service, so that, in the event anything isn't working
properly, he can have it returned to the shop immediately for repairs.
This means I may or may not have an airplane for OSH.
The one possibility that exists is the "stretch" 182 available Tuesday.
Stay tuned!

Um...Jay? Jim is excluded from the wing dancing, correct? Presuming so
since you were replying to Margie's post...but I wanted to clarify things.

Hey, order up some decent weather for 7/23-7/25 or so, ok?
