Thanks for the invitation! I was at Oshkosh last year for the first
time. I took a month off work and flew up there by myself all the way
from Phoenix in a friend's (now my partner in the Tiger) Cessna 150.
After the show I kept going all the way east and hung out on the beach
in south Jersey for a week before heading home via a more southern
route. I camped some nights, got a room others. It was the experience
of a lifetime (so far... ). I knew about the Honecks' party from
years of lurking around here. It was my first night in the North 40,
but I didn't have the details. I went for a walk thinking that maybe
the big (intoxicated) group would stand out. I probably walked right
past you guys as I later learned here that you were at the west end of
9/27. I wound up getting a couple of cocktails and a sandwich over at
Friar Tuck's. I'll make a better effort this year.

I suspect your plane purchase saga gets rather animated after you've down'd
a few cold ones. Looking forward to hearing *that* version. g

grin. There are people out there who's word and handshake can be
relied upon, and then there are the rest. I try my best to be one of
the former, and to give people the benefit of the doubt until I learn
otherwise. I'd say I'm rarely let down. During my quest for an
airplane to purchase I unfortunately met a few people who fall into the
latter category. Luckily the happy outcome quickly took away the sting
of the prior bad experiences. Get me a little buzzed though and I'll
tell you exactly which broker named Carl you should avoid doing
business with.
