So will you be showing your plane there as well? Who will you be
representing? EAA, AOPA, Dawn Patrol?


We will be representing "Family Flying" from the heartland of America, as
best I can tell.

I've even promised Margy that I'll bring the kids, shave, clean up my
language, and not spit on the tarmac!

Ok, I'll jump in here and try to explain my vision for the day. I want
to represent as many aspects of aviation as I can with 30 airplanes. I
hope to have a few "name brand" pilots as well as "just plane folks". I
view Jay and Mary as the pinnacle of "flying family". I think the kids
have been to OSH more years than their ages :-)! As of today some of
the "name brand" pilots you can expect to see are Kevin Kochersberger
(the Wright Flyer Pilot, Cherokee) and Gus McLeod (only person to fly
open cockpit to the North Pole, Firefly prototype). May also have
another biggie in the works. In addition we have a bunch of really neat
planes with just plane folks (like a really pristine Navion if it ever
gets out of the avionics shop), a 170, Varieze, RV-4, a Chipmunk,
Staggerwing, Swift, etc. We should also have a few bigger aircraft like
the State of VA will send the Citation if the Gov. doesn't need it that
day and a privately owned L-39. I think I've got an F-16 and a pair of
Harriers as well as a county helicopter. These are all I can remember
here at home (or feel like listing, I think I've a 172 and such also).

The whole idea of the day is to show museum visitors that ANYONE can
"Become a Pilot". In addition to the planes flying in there will also
be many activities going on inside the museum.

Aside to Jay - shouldn't be a problem landing Dulles early.
