Are you going to Oshkosh?

My wife, Mary, and I are planning to attend our 26th consecutive (God
willin' and the crik don't rise) Oshkosh fly-in this year.

For those who know, Oshkosh is the Woodstock of aviation. Pilots from all
over the world dream of attending, and I've met many pilots whose highest
piloting aspiration has been to fly into the world's largest aviation
celebration. Tens of thousands of spectators, thousands of aircraft, and
every aviation vendor imaginable converge on little Oshkosh, WI for one week
every year to share their dreams of flight.

More importantly to this group, every year a growing group of RAP
aficionados reunite to rekindle old friendships, and make new ones. It's a
lot of fun, putting faces with names, and a good time is had by all.

Who's coming this year?

The plan is afoot for a first trip via API and the Pool Party.

I will be making my first trip along with my wife. Two days at
Airventure and then two days in Chicago. Hope it doesn't rain on
Friday and Saturday.

I plan on being there for a day, but don't stay on the grounds so will
likely miss your North 40 party.

Look for us in Vintage, we will arrive early, leave late as usual.

Sweet! How's the Navion running? Haven't heard any gripes at all from you,
which -- after a complete firewall-to-tail restoration like you and Ron
did -- is remarkable.

Either nothing has broken, or you're just not the complainin' type...

Well, today is the first flight after annual, so we will let you know.
Took her back to our old mechanic who found much more than the guy we
took her to before (she's really picky! which I like). Fixed a tiny oil
leak, new tires, a few new washers, etc. on the landing gear, set the
idle mixture, mew master switch (it worked sometimes!) nothing major.
She even delivered it back to our airport and into our hangar. Weekends
here have been AWFUL! We seem to have forgotten to tell her about the
nose wheel shimy, so it will go back for that.

It's been a very well behaved aircraft since the restoration.
