Default OSH 2007 Parties -- You're all invited!

You ever been to Oshkosh, Jose? The airshow aerobatic box is a good half a
mile to a mile east of the north 40. If somebody is coming over the north
40 at a hundred feet or so, something terribly wrong has happened and a
couple of balloons in the way isn't going to make a hell of a lot of
difference.

You could fly them at **50** feet and still be plainly visible. At that
rate, they are going to take out a telephone pole along the side of the
field WAY before they plow through some one mil mylar.

Tie them to Atlas' prop with a
hundred feet or so of thread or very light string.


Considering the airshow occuring right nearby, that's probably a Very Bad
Idea.

How about using radios? Agree on a frequency and monitor it.
