The Big Grill. Could you transport it to our campsite, or would we
have to move the party to the grill? :-)

Do they allow cars or tractors to mingle with the airplanes in the north 40?
If so, yes, I can move it to you.

If Jay parks where he did last year, I will be accessible from the
Hilton parking lot.

Uhh, sorry, I didn't follow that. What does your accessibility have to do
with the equation, and what does your accessibility from the Hilton have to
do with the moving of non airplanes around the north 40?

Well, the idea is a good one, but in practice it's quite unlikely.

Last year we were parked right near the edge of the grounds, by the Hilton.
It was easy to park a car in their lot (or a pull-behind grill) and come
right up to our campsite.

Unfortunately, where you end up camping is dictated mostly by sheer luck and
chance. If you arrive early, you camp close. If you arrive in the middle,
you camp far away. If you arrive late, you MIGHT camp close OR far away...

So, the odds of getting parked near the Hilton again are not very good.

40?

Well, yes and no. Montblack managed to simply drive out on the field last
year, either through bluff or luck. (I think he was wearing a "volunteer"
t-shirt that gave him carte blanche pretty much everywhere -- even though it
was from another fly-in!)

Usually the answer is no, however

Do you want me to plan on it, or wait a bit?

Well, I don't see how we can go wrong with too many grills? :-) Why not
plan on it?

Thanks!

Well, I am in luck. I have the orang vest and orange floppy hat that I wear
when I am working point on the taxiways, so THAT might do it.

Uhh, I don't think you understand the magnitude of this grill. I can cook
enough burgers to feed a "hundred" people in about an hour. I will plan on
bringing it, but IF it can get in, no other people need to mess with
bringing theirs.

Two years ago I went up to the registration booth on the north 40 and
asked for registered campers locations by first and last name. Of the
folks (from here) that I intended to meet, I had the pleasure of meeting
Jay Honeck and his wife (and the kids but they were heading for bed)..

If you are trying to meet up with folks you can put the heads up now on
here, with your tail number and or proper name and people will be able
to find you.

Is there a message board in the north 40? Will anyone have internet
connections while there for the week, and what will the addresses be?

Questions, questions. I'm starting into planning mode. I missed last year,
due to surgery, and am really looking forward to it.

If anyone is interested, I will be in the Aviation Explorers camp, which is
between the CAP camp, and the warbird RV and camping site.

I plan on roughing it gthis year, and taking my work van, with a quick,
air conditioned, RV conversion, as soon as I get all of our group's gear out
of it. I might be bringing a tow-behind, 100 burger grill for the Explorer
Base to use, and I might be able to free it up for an evening, if anyone
(Jay) is interested.

The Piper Parade has traditionally met at High Noon under the
tail of the largest aircraft being displayed. Couple years ago
it was the 747. Forgot what it was last year.

Advantage -- really easy to find the airplane!

What's the "Piper Parade"?

Last year a group of Piper folk decided that the Bo's shouldn't
have all the fun and organized a flight into OSH for the show. Not
doing it this year -- awful lot of effort (thank you Stan!) with
LOA with FAA and OSH and everything else. I believe 30 or so
aircraft participated. And then there were those (like me) that
took a 747...(and didn't get flooded in the storm...)

No fly-in this year but for a number of years, it's been
either meet at the tail of the big airplane or at one of the
vendor's booths (First Pryority Bank) if they are at the show.
