Going to OSH? You're invited!

You're invited!

What: 3rd Annual Pre-Oshkosh Fly-In Pool Party
Whe Alexis Park Inn & Suites, Iowa City, Iowa -- on the north side of
Rwy 25 at Iowa City Municipal (KIOW).
When: Saturday, July 23rd, noon till ???
Why: Our way of saying "Thanks!" for another great year at our aviation
theme-suites hotel.

FREE food, beverages (adult and otherwise) and music will be served at
poolside. We will do two "shifts" of meals, one for lunch, and one for the
dinnertime crowd -- although there will be all sorts of things to munch on
throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I stay the night at the hotel? Unfortunately we are sold out, but we
will find other accommodations for you, as needed. (I've got a guest room
in my home we can press into service, if necessary!)
Can I camp on the hotel grounds? Sure! We've got showers and bathrooms
accessible to you.
Can I camp on the airport? You bet! I've spoken with the owner of the
Eastern Iowa Pilots Association, which occupies our incredibly historic
Boeing/United Hangar (built in 1930, it's one of just 7 original airmail
hangars left), and she will allow tents to be set up alongside the hangar,
and the bathroom will be accessible 24/7.
What's there to do in Iowa City? We're a Big Ten college town, and the
Amana Colonies are nearby. There are 55 restaurants within a mile of the
Inn, and campus/downtown are less than a mile away. There is always
something happening here on a summer weekend!
How do I get to the Inn from the airport? We're about 400 yards from the
airport -- an easy walk, without luggage. If you've got luggage/gear, have
the FBO call us, and we'll give you a lift in the hotel van.
What if I can't swim? Jim Weir and Jack Allison are trained in CPR and
water rescue techniques. You will be safer than in the arms of
you-know-who... :-)

Hope to meet some of you guys on the way to the Big One!

(And don't forget our big North 40 party on Wednesday night at our
campsite!)

Gas is guaranteed at $2.85 a gallon (self service, like at the car gas
stations). We have a courtesy car ( old chevy, not pretty. but runs
good) No, the gas price is not very good, but it is the best we can do
and it will be this price on return trip also. We are about 340 or 350
miles straight south of Oshkosh..

Pass this information around to the other lists if you dont mind.

Bring your tie downs and ropes that you will need in Oshkosh just in
case we would have more than eight planes here. There is plenty of grass
for yie downs.......

What's that large white fan-shaped thing down by what looks like the High
School. It's the size of the High School grounds. Roman amphitheater?

Drive-in theater...

My good heavens!! Do they still have those things operational anywhere? If
not torn up for a strip mall, most of them have been converted to swap
meets.

North Las Vegas airport has a multiscreen jobbie right next to it. Kinda
have to drive around it geauxing from the new big hangers back to the
FBO and restaurant...

Wimberly, Texas had a Sit-in where you bring your own lawn chairs, dunno
if its still open or not though...

"· The outdoor Corral Movie Theater on CR 174 gives you the opportunity
to watch movies under the stars in the summer. Bring a lawn chair,
blanket and drinks (this is a dry town) and enjoy the pleasure of the
Texas night ~ 512.847.2513."

"An outdoor, walk-in (as opposed to drive-in) theater in Wimberly,
Texas. Admission was $3. Popcorn and drinks were 75 cents."

Nope, it still shows movies every night in the summer.......... $2 a
head and kids still get in free. Sound is better now. they use the car
stereo radio and transmit a low power radio signal all over the area...

You can actually listen to the movie about a five blocks away....
