Jay, I'll be looking forward to hear about your party but unfortunately,
I'll not be able to attend. And just let me mention also the reason I
won't
be able to attend Oshkosh more than one or two days is that we will be
visiting our kids in Appleton, WI, and considering there will be 5 of us,
I
just can't afford the daily admission for all of us to attend each day.

Dang. Well, we'll drink a toast to you and the kids! (You *could*
try ditching the kids for a day... :-)

Since, I'm retired Air Force, I'll probably be focusing on the military,
especially that U-2.

Aeroshell Square is where you'll find the current Air Force stuff.
It's the very center of the AirVenture showline, so you won't miss
it. For old stuff, you'll have to wander down to the Warbirds, at
the far North end of the showline. Once there, you'll be just a hop,
skip and a jump from the North 40 -- so you might as well plan on
stopping out to our campsite. (You can find us by giving our tail
number to any EAA camping check-in booth -- they'll vector you in from
there.)

Every afternoon (after the airshows) we pull chairs up to Rwy 27 and
watch arrivals/departures. IMHO that is the REAL airshow, and (if
Montblack doesn't give it all away to a bunch of young CFIs again!)
we'll have a cold one for ya!

I'll definitely add your campsite to my list of visits. Hopefully, we'll see
you and your fellow campers there. And thanks again for the info.
