OSH 2007 Parties -- You're all invited!

You ever been to Oshkosh, Jose? The airshow aerobatic box is a good half a
mile to a mile east of the north 40. If somebody is coming over the north
40 at a hundred feet or so, something terribly wrong has happened and a
couple of balloons in the way isn't going to make a hell of a lot of
difference.

You could fly them at **50** feet and still be plainly visible. At that
rate, they are going to take out a telephone pole along the side of the
field WAY before they plow through some one mil mylar.

Tie them to Atlas' prop with a
hundred feet or so of thread or very light string.

Considering the airshow occuring right nearby, that's probably a Very Bad
Idea.

How about using radios? Agree on a frequency and monitor it.

Damned, all I did when I discovered I had NO IDEA what Jay's tail number
was and I'd left the papers I'd carefully prepared at home, was to call
the hotel and talk the person at the desk out of Jay's cell phone
number. Now, if I'd only put that in the memory, I'd be ok!

Margy

Jay, you better warn your desk folks :-)

Don't even TRY to find the party by "taking a stroll through the North
40", as some folks did last year. Unless you are very lucky, indeed,
you will literally walk MILES before you find us -- if you ever do!

Ha! Three years ago, I found you guys no sweat. Of course, I was
walking down the "outside" of each N-40 row and carefully looking for
anything that resembled your paint scheme. When I came around the bend
in the road, just before the area where they don't park planes, I just
about tripped on you guys.

When it gets closer to the event, we should post a thread where people
can reply with their N-numbers.

Hmmm, a little over two months away.

Jay,
Love to come, can't unless you have a really large forest fire near by.

I'm sure that could be accommodated, but then you would be too busy to
party! g

We don't fly fires at night, usually.

Forest? How do you set 50,000 acres of corn on fire?

You'd need napalm... lots of napalm, especially in July!
I thought there was a forest fire up near Duluth, MN... is that close
enough?

For a while I thought we'd have popcorn -- or at least a widespread
fire -- here in Iowa. However, after a week of high wind, low
humidity and high temps, the rains finally came and made everything
that beautiful "spring" shade of green once again.

I'm looking out my patio as I type this, and the greens are so
intense, it almost hurts. It sure does a soul good, after seeing
nothing but gray, black, and white from December through March.

There is simply no place I'd rather be than Iowa in the springtime.
God almighty, it is gorgeous...
