That would be me! Looking forward to seeing all you folks. We were there 3 years ago, but haven't made
it since. We got the plane packed this afternoon in our 118 degree heat, and I'm not sure we have room
for much Arizona beer, but we'll try. We're launching for Iowa City at o'dark thirty tomorrow morning,
OSH on Sunday.

You were there with Dad, IIRC.

Some Jack Allison news:

Jack and his Arrow full of Allisons called me around 4:30pm CST (2:30pm
where he was at - Ogden, Utah). The had a fuel stop, told the guy to fill it
to the tabs, and went in to eat. When they came out, tanks were full. 14
gallons too many. Off-load, off-load. Heat, Heat.

It was hot, and they were smelling like fuel, so Jack said, "I have an idea,
let's hit the pool."

So they're staying put in Ogden, Utah tonight. He said he had headwinds on
the nose all morning and was seeing Cessna Skyhawk ground speeds.

He was dealing with HIGH density altitude numbers too. I think he said Elko,
Nevada was over 8,000 ft.

Not sure if he had another stop in there?

Excellent memory! However, I'm the Dad, and my son is coming with me again this year.

It looks like Ogden's airport is having similar problems to your airport,
Jay. They have a good portion of one runway torn up, when the Google Earth
picture was taken.

And I thought it was hot here! It was hovering around 108 all week!

We started packing and weighing camping gear last night. This will be my third Oshkosh, but the first since '99. It
will be the wife's very first time so you guys try to behave, okay? I might want her to return sometime. :' )

We found out the couple with the Skyhawk that was going to fly up with us as a flight of two had to back out due to
unforeseen circumstances. We will forge ahead. I'm headed to the airport to wash the airplane and start loading.
We'll launch early Sunday morning and plan on arriving late Sunday afternoon. (676 nm).

Anyone know the condition of the grass in the North 40? Wet field, soft, tall?

Like Mike we will be very short on useful load in our 140 as hot as it is, so we may have buy beer when we get there
or do without.

I always find this funny (we do it, too), since, within 12 hours after
setting up in the North 40, Atlas will be as dirty as he EVER gets, all
year long...

Still, when you're flying into "The Big One", you want your bird to
look good. Heck, it's the only place in the world that people in
measurable numbers will actually be studying the BOTTOM of your
plane...
