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. Jim "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:QmVKe.19169$084.4075@attbi_s22... 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?

The "rec.aviation club" works for me. Or do we need something more official sounding? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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! :-) -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-IA Student Arrow N2104T "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |

"Mach Schnell....schnell, schnell." 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! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
