OSH 2007 Parties -- You're all invited!

"Jay Honeck" wrote

To find our campsite (and, thus, the party) all you need
to do is go to one of the EAA booths at the entrance to the camping
area, and give them our "N" number (N56993). They will vector you to
the party from there!

A WORD OF CAUTION, about finding the plane, by stopping by the booth at the
camping area:

DO NOT wait until after the airshow is over to find the location at the
booth.

The booth WILL BE CLOSED, and you will not be able to get the location of
Jay's plane!

Don't ask me how I know this! g

Good point, Jim -- and it's one I had forgotten. EAA closes the
camping area check-in booths when the airshow starts. You will either
have to scout our location beforehand, or figure out a way to get
vectors from this newsgroup (someone usually posts our locale during
the week).

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!

Jay, could you hoist an RA H.O.P.S flag or banner that would be visible from
the end of the row? It would give people something to look for.

"Oshkosh Traffic, Cherokee is doing a low pass over the north 40, looking
for a party."

Someone already put in for that week off, so I'm not going (again).

Jay, could you hoist an RA H.O.P.S flag or banner that would be visible from
the end of the row? It would give people something to look for.

Great idea! Any flag-makers in the group?

Getting a flag high enough to be seen from a good distance might
be tough, but a few helium balloons could easily be raised high
enough to be visible. Probably easier to fit a few mylar balloons
and some rope in Atlas then a bunch of lengths of flag pole.

It doesn't need to be too high. Only higher than the planes around it. You
only need to see it from the end of the row. You could pull Atlas a little
forward so the prop is out in the taxiway and hang a flag from the prop.

Go over to Piggly Wiggly or Target, or whoever is in the shopping mall
across from Tuck's. Get two or three "happy birthday" helium balloons. Tie
them to Atlas' prop with a hundred feet or so of thread or very light
string.

That could get ugly if the wind kicks up.

So shorten the string. Sheesh, don't y'all ever modify things as conditions
require? Besides, a flag on a pole is a hell of a lot uglier when the pole
snaps and drives itself through the windshield. Balloons bounce, poles
don't.

From what I've heard, a few hours into the party nobody would be able to
find the string, let alone shorten it
