Oshkosh 2005 pictures up

When we were commercial exhibitors, EAA would store our booth from year to
year in the commercial exhibit buildings (which are absolutely empty) for a
hundred bucks or so. A group going to EAA (ask me, I'll find the right
path) that wants to store stuff from year to year ought to be able to do it
for a couple of hundred bucks for a whole BUNCH of camping gear.

But it can't be a "loose association". We need cubic feet and a formal
organization to approach EAA with this request. I'm willing to be the EAA
conduit, but you all have to form the association and request a specific
amount of cubic feet of storage. A couple of rules:

1. If you aren't there the next year, your stuff is either discarded or
taken home by other members.

2. Somebody HAS to be there the day before the show to tell the EAA
forklift operator where to dump the stuff.

Wow, that's almost creepy, Jim. Mary and I were just talking about how
great it would be if someone would build a gazillion of those stupid
storage units (basically glorified miniature garages) on Wittman Field.

Possibly the stuff can be kept in an enclosed trailer that can be moved to some
sort of parking area during the event?

Hmm. The "rec.aviation club" works for me.

Or do we need something more official sounding?

How about the "rec.aviation.owners". THat works for me.

I'll make some quiet inquiries on Monday.

Thanks, Jim.

Wow, just imagine. We could store our own MOAG (Mother Of All Grills)
"on-site", and we could have a pig roast every year! Not to mention all
the chairs, tables, and (dare I say it) coolers?

No more hauling around the PMC -- "Pimp My Cooler", AKA: "The Coffin"??

Wow, I can almost see Jim (Burns) and Montblack pumping their fists and
shouting "YES!" from here!

Paul could make a few special trips to OSH, meet Jim, store PMC units,
etc. Ooooooooooooh, our own MOAG...now this is getting exciting. All
we need to do is convince someone (JimB/Paul, perhaps even Joe the grill
master) to rotate nightly shifts running the grill and we're set. No
more having to run from the Charcoal Pit through the wall of water! :-)

Call me a defeatist ...but this building will need an access point, no? :-)

Crap, I suppose you're right. We'll STILL have to transport the stuff
out to the campsite, somehow.

Wait -- a TRAILER! That's what we need! Keep all the supplies in a
trailer, inside the storage facility, throughout the year.

Then, when you come to OSH next year, you simply hook it up to your van
(which you have somehow magically transported onto the grounds, and
driven right up to the Exhibit halls without anyone noticing) and drive
it out to the North 40 -- where we won't have arrived yet!

You will then have to predict precisely where we will be camping, and
drop the load right *there*...

Okay, maybe there are some holes in the plan here...but we'll fill 'em
somehow!

Maybe you only need a plane BIIIIG enough? Then you can have the trailer
plus grill plus bikes plus your Piper all stored ...

Just remember to take along a cylinder of compressed air to pump up any
"low" tires on the trailer when it is picked up.
