Cool! By OSH '09,

'09? Nah...assuming I can get a CFI lined up by early spring, I'd be
done by OSH '08.

you'll be able to legally charge for flights of
Left Coasters into Iowa City for the pool party!

Hmmm, true but at current costs for a Left Coast-2-OSH roundtrip, it's
pretty expensive per seat. Still, nice idea. See if you can convince
Steve that I need to make a profit in order to pay for airplane upgrades
:-) I figure given his airplane manufacturing focus, I have a good head
start on payback time when he returns the favor by charging me for the
privilege of sitting in the right seat of the RV. "Oh, you want to
actually fly? Ok, that's another $100/hr, 2-hr. minimum" :-)

Seriously, good luck. It's a neat step to take...

Thanks. Folks tell me this is a fun certificate to obtain once you
start flying the maneuvers. After spending countless hours not being
able to look outside for the instrument rating, this should be a nice
change.
