Heading to Oshkosh

I'm not sure if you'll be able to squeeze this in, but if you have any
interest, you may want to check the schedule to see if any of the major
speakers will be talking. People like Chuck Yeager and Bob Hoover may
not be around too much longer. (On the other hand, they might outlast
me.) Several years ago Medal of Honor recipient Adm. Stockdale spoke
there, and Gemini/Apollo/Skylab astronaut Pete Conrad was a regular EAA
supporter. They're no longer with us.

Thanks, Paul.

We sort of think that we are all (sniff) major speakers, just on different
subjects and with different backgrounds.

D'oh! I can't seem to type anything without offending someone. Of
course you're going to be around for a long, long time yet. We've got
to get your presentation over to Pavilion #7. That way you won't have
the competition. It's all about marketing too. The Rutans and
VanGrunsven have got people talking about them. We got to get some sexy
babes to generate some buzz around the grounds for your talks. Just
like those cell phone companies hire good looking people to hang around
bars with their latest gadgets in order to generate interest.

I was surprised to see the demand for presentations has gotten so large
that some talks started at 7 PM. A couple of those were quite
interesting because the put the truly fringe experimental topics at the
late times.

YOu didn't see the smiley face?

Hm. For the first time since I turned 63, I felt my age last week diving
for a hot grounder over the bag that would have gone for extra bases. Ten
years ago I'd have come up with that sucker and beat the runner to the base;
all I could do this time was knock it down and keep it in the infield.

Hell, I always know when I'm speaking. I just look at the schedule for
either Rutan or Machado; I'm always against one or the other of them. For
about five years running, Machado and I had a running joke because I was
ALWAYS in the same tent just ahead of him like an opening act.

Gee, I sort of like Gail, Margy and Mary hanging around. That's "babe"
enough for me.

Is that 7 AM or 7 PM???

Just wait until I call for a little pot in every chick.

Yes, I was just being lazy by not typing my own smiley back. Now I had
to make the effort of typing another letter instead of just typing :-)
originally. I can't win :-)

Of course you're going to be around for a long, long time yet.

I forget what comedian I heard say this, but it's been my philosophy
too: "God put me on this planet with a finite number of heartbeats, so I
don't want to waste them exercising."

The first forum is at 8:30 AM. I thought I kept the previous year's
AirVenture Today papers, but I must have left them at the local
aerodrome. I thought nothing ever disappeared from the Internet, but I
can't find the forum schedules from last year to verify the times. I do
remember that some started very late after the airshow. One was on the
XCOR rocket racers.

Like their web site shows...2 months, 3 weeks to go.

That would be wacky 'funny man' ....Neil Armstrong.
