In article XQaQd.37$zH6.36@attbi_s53, John Ousterhout says...
The Pinckneyville Fly-In began after discussion in late 1996 and early 1997 when a bunch of regulars on rec.aviation.homebuilt decided they wanted to get together. John Johnson volunteered his hangar at PJY and offered to host the event. You can find the genisis in these links to r.a.h messages. http://tinyurl.com/5l5q4 http://tinyurl.com/5mww2 A handful attended in 97. Many attended in 98. Attendance since then had varied depending on weather and whim. Just use google advanced groups search to search r.a.h using the word Pinckneyville and you'll find lots of stories -- some even true. Many photos of the event are on my web page: http://www.ousterhout.net - J.O.- I guess 98 was the year the RAH-15 was born ,many of us had never met but we all had 1 thing in common ,we were all zoomed at one time or another and were being sued by zoom campbell . So we all got together with the original 15 and a bunch of other RAH regulars and found out that for a bunch of terrorists,liars,stalkers,thieves,blackmailers and other assorted pond scum,we wuz actually a pretty good bunch of people LOL!!! ...and most I still consider friends. Everytime I hear Hotel California I get a tear in my eye for that as well as the good memories of the gathering. Resurrections,chicken thieves,zoom targets in the urinals ,gobs of neat airplane junk to look at...it don't get much better then that :-) Chuck (I'm going this year) S PS thanks for keeping your web site up I visit it often for many reasons :-) |
