Default Our 27th Consecutive Oshkosh -- anyone else going?

Can't speak for Jay, but I'd be willing to bet a six pack that if Maxwell
showed up with a smile instead of his usual crap, the guys might even
offer him a drink :-)


Always!

I've met some of the more infamous curmudgeons off this newsgroup (and other
chat groups), both at the hotel and at fly-ins. Without exception, they've
been TOTALLY different in-person than they are "in writing". Maybe not
outgoing and gregarious, but certainly not unpleasant.

Written communication -- especially for those who choose to remain
anonymous -- often appears much harsher than those same words would sound if
spoken. It's something I must continually guard against, since I tend to
sound stuffy and boorish in writing, when we all know I am debonair and
classy in-person.

:-)

I don't know what Maxwell has against parties, or my signature line, but I
suppose without Bertie around maybe he's simply lonely...?

God willin' and the crik don't rise, this month will mark our 27th year at
Oshkosh. We're planning on flying in on Sunday, July 26th, and spending
the week.

We WILL have our annual Wednesday night party in the North 40, so plan on
migrating out to our plane after the air show, if you'd care to join us.


As usual, you forgot to tell how to find you in the North Fourty. g

Everyone, you have to go to the booth at the entrance to the North Fourty
_before_ after the show on the day of the party. The booth will be closed
by then so you will not be able to find the party.

Write down his tail number and tell the booth and they will tell you where
Jay is parked. It is about impossible to wander and find the party without
help.

Count me there!

be TOO popular...

We WILL have our annual Wednesday night party in the North 40, so plan
on migrating out to our plane after the air show, if you'd care to
join us. As always, admission is a 6-pack of good beer from your home
state. Extra points are awarded for micro-brew status. If you can't
see through it, better yet! (Anyone bringing beer with the name
"Light" or "Lite" in it will be summarily sent to the Charcoal Pit,
where you will be forced to listen to karaoke for the evening... :-)

We'll have food of some sort, snacks, and plenty of hangar flying. If
you get there right after the air show, you can enjoy the REAL airshow
with us -- arrivals and departures. From 6 to 8 PM you will see some
wonderful "stupid pilot tricks" as well as some excellent flying.
It's great fun, and I hope you can join us.

We just got back from the annual Cherokee Pilots Association fly-in
down in Missouri. In past years there have been well over 100 planes
in attendance -- this year, just 35 showed up. I'm hoping that this
means that everyone is pinching their nickels and dimes so that they
can attend the Big One in Oshkosh!

So who's coming?


WTF would you be doing there, its for homebuilders and pilkots, fjukkwit.


Bertie
