There are actually TWO party announcements here -- one held in Oshkosh
(KOSH), and one in Iowa City (KIOW). Both parties are free to all
pilots and aviation enthusiasts...so read on!

If exhibitors are also invited, I'd like to pass the KOSH party
directions on to two of my colleagues.

Chris and Dave will be manning the ADS-B booth at the FAA Hangar. Chris
has been involved in supporting ADS-B for several years now and Dave is
a pilot with an instrument rating. Feel free to stop by the booth.

Regards,
Jon

Hey JayH...this is a whole new question. Exhibitors *and* they work for
the FAA! Then again, I'm sure we'd let just about anyone in given the
6-pack price of admission :-)

Seriously though Jon, it would be great to talk to these guys about
ADS-B. I've always thought the FAA does a great job at OSH with all of
the stuff they have on exhibit. I suppose we'd have to keep the user
fee jokes to a minimum, eh? :-)

Just to be clear http://www.volpe.dot.gov isn't FAA. They are one of
the sponsors we support, though, albeit with a slighty different price
of admission :P

Have at it! Dave may have a few in his arsenal as well

I'll pass the info along and Thanks for the rreply, Jack!

How about the "How are you going to like working for LockMart" jokes?

Things which do you no good in aviation: Altitude above you.
Runway behind you. Fuel in the truck. Half a second ago.
Approach plates in the car. The airspeed you don't have.

The **4th Annual Rec.Aviation Oshkosh Party** will be held on Wednesday
evening, after the daily air show, at our North 40 campsite in that
Mecca of Aviation, Oshkosh, Wisconsin. (Instructions on how to find
this campsite are below...)

Instructions: Finding this party is easy -- but takes a bit of effort.
Since North 40 campsites are assigned randomly, in a "first come-first
served" fashion, there is no way to announce the party's precise
location in advance. You MUST go to the EAA Camping Check-In Booth in
the North 40 campground, and give them our tail number (N56993). They
will then tell you our precise campsite, and give you vectors to the
party!

Jay,

I'll plan on being there at the North 40 party on Wednesday. There will
be two of us arriving in the Pilatus on Wednesday mid-day, weather
permitting. I'll be in the warbird parking near the Yaks & CJ-6s based
on where the other P-3s were parked last year.

Unfortunately, I am very space limited when it comes to bringing things
for the party, but let me know what type of funding contribution is
customary.

Thanks,
Eric

Eric, did you find a paint shop?

I never did find a well recommended paint shop in the area. I'm still
torn between polishing the well-aged aluminum to make it shine, or
painting it to protect the 47 year old aluminum.

Either way it will have to wait until well after Oshkosh, so I'll be
the warbird everyone walks past to get to the really nice looking
ones...

Well, a 6-pack of good beer is the usual price of admission. (Some
bring wine, but we try to hide them from the masses, lest they become
corrupted... ;-)

If you'd like to help pay for food, there's a thread here somewhere
about how to go about using PayPal to do so. Otherwise, just toss some
buckos in the kitty when you're there, to help defray Montblack's
expenses.
