OSH Question
Now though, you are the one who has spent much of your life living and
loving aviation. Now, maybe its your turn to share that with those who are as you were twenty two years ago. Pass it on and share with someone else. Excellent, Bob. Wilco. Mary and I both remarked that this year was really different at OSH. There were far more 20-somethings, and far more kids than there used to be. This is a very good thing, indeed. When Mary and I were the 20-somethings, we were truly odd-ducks. There were practically no other aviation enthusiasts our age, back when we first started attending OSH, and we always felt a bit out of place. This may explain the downturn in the aviation over the past couple of decades, as the World War II generation passed the torch to a much smaller generation of enthusiasts. It is good to see that there are a bunch of young folks again interested in aviation, and Mary and I always do our best to share our passion with others. Hell, that's the whole reason we started an aviation themed, luxury suites hotel -- we simply love everything there is about aviation, and want to share it. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

"Jay Honeck"
shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: Chuck Yeager and I share back-to-back hangar space. He flies a dozen Young Eagles every Saturday and Sunday morning in his Husky. He is no "honorary chair" of the movement; he is out there every weekend morning flying the locals...who for the most part have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what sort of a legend is flying them around. I'm sorry he pi$$ed you off by asking for a Young Eagles donation to sign your son's hat. Send me the hat and I'll ask the General to sign it for you if you can't afford the donation to a worthy cause. Jim Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres.

OK, you've convinced me, Jay. I'll plan to fly to OSH next year and camp
under the wing, but never want to drive again. Besides, at 60 I'm still a young fart. The last time I flew I deviated to Baraboo Dells. Now THAT'S quite an experience. You haven't seen the Dells until you've ridden in a DUCK! :-) See you next year at OSH! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
