Oshkosh questions

Hey Jim...Yep, I'd be coming from Sacramento. The big issue for me is
buying a plane this year. I know, not an acceptable excuse since we are
talking about Oshkosh...but...splitting the rental bill two or three
ways does add up. Still got a couple more months to score a plane
though. Have the partners, have the cash, know what we want...now, we
just need to find that the Arrow with our name on it.

If I do manage to be an Arrow co-owner before Oshkosh and the dates work
out, a little convoy would be fun. I'd love to make it to Jay and
Mary's pool party. I'd probably stay for the entire week.

Hey, you might be able to help me out on the airplane front. In your
travels, if you see any Arrows for sale, drop me an e-mail. We'd love
to find one locally rather than go out of state. Looked at a real nice
one in Auburn, even made an offer but the owner doesn't want to deal so
we're still looking.

The only problem is that our trip seems to be a moving target. First we
were going to get there on Monday after Jay's party on Sunday, but Jay moved
it back to Saturday and that made it just one day over our absolute limit.

Right now the plan is to depart NoCal early Monday and hope to arrive
Oshkosh early Wednesday. Forums Thursday and Friday, EAA Annual Meeting on
Saturday, and depart noonish Saturday, home on Monday.

Ah, Jay is the culprit. Curse those darn aviation theme motel
proprietors. How come they never consult with your schedule? :-)

Feel free to keep me posted as to how the final plans work out. Sounds
like a possible caravan on the way home since I'd most likely plan on
leaving Sacra-Tomato Friday in hopes of making it to IOW Saturday.

Nope, EAA is the culprit. By moving the whole danged show schedule up, we
had to move the party up a day -- and *poof* -- there went Jim's entire
week!

Once Jim is elected Grand Poobah of the EAA, I trust he will immediately
rectify this problem.

Can someone list the series of Oshkosh start day changes over the last 10
years?

I've lost track.

Have we arrived back where we started?

Yes, OSH now ends before it starts.

My first Oshkosh was 12 or 13 years ago and it started on Friday.
