I'll go if Bertie goes.


Not this year anyhow. Haven;t been in a long time. No much point. It
isnt what it set out to be....





Bertie

What?!?! It's not an airplane show anymore?


Nope.

In any case, that's not what it started out as...

Scott, nothing is good enough for Bertie Buttlipp.

Cuz, he knows everything, he knows everyone, he's done everything. But he
never posts a link!

What a weasel!

: Love to see you and that great plane of yours, Cory. (I hope Thielert's
: financial burp doesn't throw too big of a wrench in your gears?)

I've been watching that, somewhat disappointed. I think that's where GA is gonna have to go in
the not-too-distant future.

: What kind of beer(s) do you home brew?

"All of 'em." I've got a couple styles that must be available at all times (Pale Ale, IPA, and
stout). Other ones rotate through for experimental purposes... Wheat beers, Browns, Scottish Ales,
Ambers, Porters, Rye Pale Ales, Bitters/ESB's, Classic American Pilsners, etc. I might be weight-limited
if the third person comes along, but if I make it, there'll be a little variety.

Cheers,
-Cory

"All of 'em."

Right. Your qualifications are clearly superior to all other candidates.
Therefore, the HOPS Party committee has voted unanimously (well, they don't
actually know it yet) to elect you, Sir Cory Pappenfuss, our new chairman
of the "Hops & Grains Advisory Board". This esteemed position's duties
consist of the following:

a) Sit in one of Jim Weir's chairs at the center of the circle of
rec.aviation revelers
b) Sample each regional beer brought to the circle during the HOPS party
c) Rate said beers on a sliding scale of your design and choosing.

Winner of "Best Beer Brought to the HOPS Party" wins a certificate for a
free night in one of our aviation themed hot-tub suites, and any other
prizes that the HOPS party committee may devise. (I'm thinking a bag of
Burns potatoes from Jim & Tami, or perhaps some old Intel chips from Mr.
Allison?)

See, now you can write your entire journey to OSH off as a business expense,
Mr. Beer Consultant....

So who won last year? ;-)

As evidenced by how fast the Bombay Sapphire disappeared, even AFTER we ran
out of tonic, I think I won.

It is a long shot, but I just might make it this year. A friend
finished an RV4, and I have been putting the 25hrs on it. It is for sale,
and if it hasn't sold by OSH, it may go east. If it does, I'll be there.

Eh? Your friend finished his RV-4, and immediately put it up for sale?

Whassup with that?

He's 91, and his knees are so bad he can't get in or out of it. So,
naturally I volunteered to help him out. He buys the gas, and I fly the
airplane. I'm 21 hours into the phase 1 testing(25). It is a dirty, nasty
job, but hey, someone's got to do it. He wants the aircraft to go to
airshows this summer, as advertising, until it sells. If it hasn't sold by
July, he is talking about putting up the fuel for the trip. He has the 180hp
and a constant speed prop, so it is fairly quick. Last weekend I got 170kts
on 8.8gph(8500', 22" x 2400rpm).

He has a Pitts that is ready to be assembled as soon as the hangar is
empty, and a Glastar right behind that. He and his little brother(87) do
this for a hobby. He is an ex airline type, and when he started flying for
them, it was as a co-pilot on a Boeing flying boat, Oakland to Honolulu.

I hope I'm half as sharp as they are in 40 years.

I'm president of our local EAA chapter,495, and have been dreaming of
making the pilgrimage for years. I won't go unless I can fly, and would
prefer to take a taildragger, just to make it fun. I have access to a good
supply of Bogwater Ale, from a small Coastal brewery(It tastes a lot better
than it sounds).
