Oshkosh Housing???

Can't help you with housing suggestions Jim...but on a different topic,
when are you guys heading East? I was thinking about another Left Coast
convoy. Tentative plans for the Allison brothers is heading East Friday
the 20th with the requisite stop at KIOW for the pre-OSH festivities the
21st.

Not a problem; we are also thinking about Friday departure. HOWEVER, my
friend, bedpartner, and co-conspirator got REEEEL nervous when we apparently
crossed paths somewhere around Elko, reported to each other the same
altitude and GPS location, and still couldn't see one another. She got
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL nervous when the four of us were in a loose gaggle
towards OSH, reported the same information, and still couldn't see one
another.

We're going to have to find a way to address that problem.

Do you not answer regular email?

Rich S.

Not in a day where I leave the house at 6 am and don't get back until 10 at
night. Gail is in Boston and I forwarded your email to her about midnight
last night. I was waiting for her response before I answered you back.

Thanks, Jim. Just wanted to make sure you got it okay. I know your "rule"
about responses about technical matters being preferred on the group. This
one, however, was more personal and I didn't really want to broadcast the
particulars. We're going to be using it next year and it'll be nice if
there's a room available for us.

I remember that well, Jim, and agree that it was unnerving. Since
then, I have done the gaggle thing several times, and the trick seems
to be to maintain visual contact starting at departure.

As a I recall, we tried to "find" each other after departing Iowa
City, and that proved quite difficult. (Although the rest of us did
catch sight of each other -- we just couldn't spot that pretty blue
182 against the sky, I guess? )

Perhaps we should assign a "buddy" to fly with, someone who you keep
in visual contact with from taxi to airborne? If I watch you, and
you watch Jack, and Jack watches Edwin, and so on, we should all
remain safely in sight of each other...

Thanks for all the info, gang. Right now it looks like a B&B in Waupaca and
a rather inexpensive rental car for the hour drive. Don't give me that
"wussy" crap, Honeck, remember I've got well over 20 years on you {;-)

Is the Apollo suite available Saturday night?

Ha! Perfect!

Yes, Jim, the Apollo Suite is available...for you...cuz you reserved
it...months ago.

Yep, you've got 20 years on me, alright...
