MGW to OSH...7/24 AM

Anyone else using this routing? We'll be leaving MGW around
7:30-8:00AM on the 24th. One stop in IN.

Hey, fellers, PLEASE for those of us who don't have all 8000 USA airport
identifiers memorized -- names and not idents. OK?

Jim

MGW is Morgantown, WV.

We will be going from CJR (Culpeper, VA) to OSH on the 22nd.
Our routing is almost exactly over MGW. We actually plan
Direct to GYY (Gary, IN) and then scoot up the Chicago
lake shore. Of course there is always a potty/meal stop
in there somehwere (MGW, OSU, Blufton, etc...)

We're going up in a 172. I'm driving up to Morgantown (sorry Jim)
from south western VA (Roanoke area) on Friday and a freind is flying
up from Salisbury, MD on late Saturday. I'm meeting him at the
airport on Sunday morning and we'll be flying from there to OSH (you
do know that one, right?) :-} He said something about a stop at
Stark County airport in IN I believe. Then to just south west of
Chicago and then north to Ripon and hopefully to OSH. I hope there's
still room on the field.

This is his first trip to OSH and is really pumped. I've been about
12 times since '82 and always driven in and camped in Scholler. This
will be my first adventure flying into OSH and camping with the plane.

I haven't flown anything since around '96, so I'm not current and hope
this will get the juices flowing to build something. Looking at
Pietenpols pretty seriously.

I hope everyone attending has a great time and safe traveling to all.

What year 172. As I recall, anything more than 30 years old (that would be
the 1974 model) goes into Classic parking, which never closes.

If he chooses to go there. Some like the North 40, but I can't figure out
why! g

I checked and 1968 is latest model for classic according to the judging
manual on line.
