OSH 2005

[Jim Burns]

I haven't seen it posted yet, so I'll jump in...
BOTH SpacehipOne and the Global Flyer will be at OSH this year. If you've
been putting off scheduleing your time off from work, this should get you
off your butt!

And the LB-30 and the B-29. A banner year.

Don't forget the freak'n Tri-Motors.

http://www.goldenwingsmuseum.com/Aircraft.html
5 flying Tri-Motors baby! How many make OSH in 2005 ...?

Haven't heard how many other owners, from around the country, are still
planning on joining in. Goal is to outdo (1979?) with the most Tri-Motors in
the air at once. We'll see.

Yeah, I did forget. I think it's time for me to start wrangling for a ride.

My thoughts exactly ...meaning "I" want a ride <g>.

Does this mean you'll be at the N40 Wedneday night rec.aviation* party? Hope
Wednesday night doesn't conflict with something good in the Woods this year.

Absolutely. This truly is shaping up to be an OSH not to miss!

- SpaceShip One
- Global Explorer
- Fifi (B-29, not seen at OSH in many years)
- B-24/LB-30 (also not seen at OSH for many years)
- FIVE Tri-Motors!

This will be one for the books.

Not sure how many of this number from Golden Wings will make the trek. I
think theyre hoping for more than TEN total. Again, we'll see. It's up to
others.

What? You weren't?

Shoot, I was picturing Montblack out in the North 40, sorta doing an
"Apocalypse Now" kind of scene with the pig...

You have no idea how hard that 23-year record has been to maintain, through
numerous jobs, three businesses, marriage, deaths, the birth of children --
you name it. Mary missed 1990, because my son was due any day -- but I made
it (and called her -- on PAY phones -- remember those? -- every 30 minutes
to make sure she was okay!). He was born August 10th...

It's been hell, I tell ya...

;-)

In fact, Mary and I were just discussing that the single most consistent
major event in our lives, above all else, has been our annual pilgrimage to
Oshkosh. Nothing else even comes close.

Oh come on guys! Stop reminding me of all the great stuff that's going to be
at Airventure this year! I'm in college in Southern California - I have
little to no hope of getting out there! I had planned on 2006, but as July
grows nearer I want to go this year more and more. Fifi, Diamond Li'l, WK
and SS1, and Global Flyer, on top of it being the coolest place in the world
to begin with - it hurts just to think about it. If i dig up some money in
the next few months I'm going to have to try to make it.

Offer to pay half the gas, and I'll bet you can hitch up with SOMEONE in
your local EAA chapter.

Of course, coming from So Cal, that might actually cost MORE than an airline
ticket nowadays...

Hmmm, and I do believe that "anything" covers "pig". :-)

At the risk of barfing on my laptop at the thought of this....in the
words of Donald Trump, "Joey, you're fired". I mean, come on, burning
*two* brats...in Wisconsin? It could get ugly at the Honeck
campsite...very ugly. :-)

Yep.... with a little time I could manage to have one delivered to Jay in
the north 40.... just imagine a loose hog amoung all those airplanes!

If I'm at OSH that Wednesday, I'll be at the party. I'll be bringing wine (*and*
a corkscrew).

I'm afraid I can imagine that. I think one about 3 months old would be a better
choice. That would be bad enough if it got loose!

That's a rather crass question. Of COURSE they don't sell UW cheerleaders.

Make one little mistake and you never hear the end of it :)

I walked all over Sun'n Fun one year trying to find a corkscrew. Finally bought
a cheap imitation Swiss Army knife that had one. The thing broke off in the
cork. I used the knife blade to cut the cork apart.

The next year was Oshkosh. Forgot the damn thing again. I found some cheap
plastic ones at the grocery store and was saved.

Now I keep a steel one in my camping gear and two of the plastic ones in my
flight bag.

I like my Chardonnay.

UW cheerleaders are so liberal that they give it away.

Hey, it's EASY to get a corkscrew at OSH! Just ask.

Ah, yet another reason to only drink wine with screw-on caps...

You know. Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill. Mad-Dog 20/20. Ripple.

Umm, boy! I haven't thought about that formaldehyde for a long time.
(thankfully)

Do they still make it? You know, truth in labeling, safety and purity and
all, I wouldn't think so.

I don't shop at places that stock any of that, but I think mad dog is still on
the market.

Yeek. If I close my eyes, I can still taste the stuff.

Styx concert, 1974-ish. Lake Michigan lakefront. Hot summer night.

It's funny how we can become nostalgic about stupid things. I've never been
so sick in my life, yet those were "the good old days"...

I have drunk some fowl liquids in search of getting plowed, but one sip of
