He's 91, and his knees are so bad he can't get in or out of it.
So,
naturally I volunteered to help him out. He buys the gas, and I fly
the airplane. I'm 21 hours into the phase 1 testing(25). It is a
dirty, nasty job, but hey, someone's got to do it.

Wow. A guy building airplanes at 91, who then lets you fly it -- for
free?


he's testing the airplane, fjukkwit.

I won' be able to make Oshkosh, but I'll try to come down for this one, at
least for the day.

Hard to believe it's been six years since you guys and gals helped us
decide to build the only aviation themed hotel in the Midwest -- and
it's "pay-back time"! For the sixth year in a row we'll be throwing
the only fly-in pool party in the world, in thanks to all pilots who
have helped us make our aviation dream a success.

Always held on the Saturday before OSH, we'll have food, refreshments,
music, swimming, and hangar flying -- all FREE. We'll have the
Penguin flight simulator set up so that you can practice the FISK
approach into OSH (it's especially challenging after a few beers), and
a good time is guaranteed for all.

We're close enough to walk from the airport -- but why bother? We'll
come fetch you in our courtesy van, and zip you right to the front
door of the inn. Spend a few hours, or spend the night. If we run
out of room (which we do most years), you're welcome to pitch your
tent on the property -- free!

Here are some pix from last year's party:

2. H.O.P.S. Party
Also for the sixth year, our campsite in the North 40 a OSH will serve
as the base for the annual "HOPS" (Homebuilt, Owning, Piloting,
Student) rec.aviation party. Put together with the invaluable
assistance of this group's Jim & Tami Burns, Montblack, and Jack
Allison, this annual shin-dig is a great chance to put a face with the
names you see in these newsgroups every day.

Admission is, as always, a 6-pack (or more) of GOOD beer, preferably
from your home-base. Regional micro-brews are almost always met with
enthusiastic approval. Extra points are awarded if you can't see
through it! (Left coast exception: If you're from Kalifornia,
regional wines are a suitable substitute. Just be prepared to take
some serious razzing...)

This party is held on Wednesday during Airventure, right after the
airshow. Because aircraft parking is "first-come, first-served" the
location varies each year, but finding us is simple. Just go to the
EAA North 40 check-in station (at the entrance to the North 40) and
give them our "N" number or last name. They will give you our precise
campsite number, and vector you in. (Note: Do this early in the day,
or you may be surprised to find them closed. Randomly finding someone
-- even a big party -- in the North 40 is "needle-in-a-haystack"
stuff...)

Well, you get the idea. Hope to see you at one or both!

I'll be the one peeing on your shoes.

Aw, hell. Why don't BOTH of you show up at OSH, have a few beers, and bury
the hatchet?

Hasn't this silliness gone on long enough? Let's all have a cold one and
talk about FLYING!
