Yes, but wood is fairly fatique resistant... Stressing it to the point
of failure, however, doesn't constitute fatigue. :-)

OOhhhh, you're baaad!

I also wonder if the people that had problems with the 3/8", had the grain
going across the wheel, or with the wheel. It would make a -big-
difference!

As bus pulled out of the circle, there it
was on the side of the garbage can ... RAH. Jumped off at first stop,
walked back, read location, waited for bus, got back on, short ride and
BAM there it was at the end of the row. Couldn't miss it. Thanks for
the note ... warm fuzzy that we wouldn't be riding around the camp all
night looking for a banner we'd never seen before.

Glad you saw it! I wondered if anyone saw it! Thanks for letting me know
you saw it. Anyone else see it?

Now, it's a party every night! Thanks to our hotel banner, which clearly
marked our territory to all who passed, we had a steady stream of visitors
and well-wishers throughout the week, all either bringing (or taking) a
beer!

Now this is funny. I flew to California on Sunday, and on my last leg
I sat next to a gentleman who had just spent the week at Oshkosh. He
was going on an on about how great the show was.

In particular, he emphasized how great the people were there. "Nobody
littered, everyone was super polite, and not a single person was
drinking at the entire event!" I was incredulous, and asked if
perhaps folks were just good at hiding it.... "If so, they were
_very_ good at hiding it, since I just spent a whole week there and
never saw a single sign of anyone with any alcohol anywhere."

I guess you and your friends are more devious than you think. :-)

This is quite true. Oshkosh is the epitome of clean, and is absolutely the
single neatest event I've ever attended.

And there is no alcohol on the grounds -- period. You cannot buy a beer
anywhere.

But in the North 40? Where we *live* for a week? You bet there is beer
a'plenty. But no one abuses it, no one leaves a scrap of litter on the
field, and everyone is in bed by 11 PM -- mostly because, after walking for
10 hours, no one can stay awake any longer.

And it all starts anew the next morning, with the first departure of the
day. To awaken in my tent, next to my plane, to the sounds of radial
engines and the occasional Merlin -- God, how I love it.

And, God, how I miss it already...

In case you all missed the news at OSH last week there were yodeler tryouts
and a replacement and a back-up were chosen so the tradition will continue.

I'm sorry Jack's plywood cracked. I have no idea what an empty Arrow
weighs.

Empty weight is 1616 lbs, probably had another 75 lbs worth of gear in
the plane as well as gas. Call it 1900 lbs for a round number. Plywood
was very old and really looked like 1/2 inch to me. Didn't measure it,
found it on the back side of the hanger (read: it was free). Left it at
Oshkosh (mainly because the plane was already packed when we rolled it
into the aisle prior to engine start). At any rate, the plywood was a
*great* idea. I think I need to put an order in with the MontBlack
manufacturing company. The guy is an artist when it comes to working
with pressure treated wood.

Yep, my alarm clock last Friday morning was a B-25 departing Rwy09 at
0630 followed immediately by a pair of P-51's departing Rwy27.
