OSH ...who's going this year?

Big floppy Tilly Hat? ...YES.

Nice looking hat from REI. Big brim, but not as dorky looking as some I see
at airshows.

Hey...dorky is "in" at airshows.

Of course, maybe that's one of the reasons young people aren't
flying. Too many dorky hats, and guys wearing dark socks and
sandals...?

Hmm. I got my lat Tilly hat FROM REI. It was the only place I could
find that carried them.

I think mine is the REI explorer... About 1/2 the price of the Tilly and is
much better at attracting all the hot airplane groupies who hang out at
fly-in's. ;-)

Mode of transport? .....Day/Nite IFR equipped Minivan


No 150/152? ...Drat!

Flight to San Marcos and back was 14 mpg average... 52 gallons... Course I
cut the travel time in half. I faired much better on the 100ll price on
that trip, than what we'd get next week... Our 152 had a much better cruise
speed than this 150 does...

It came and the first time I washed it, it shrank just like any other hat
would shrink.
Under Tilly's guarantee, they sent me another one. Same thing when washed.
It shrank.


We're suppose to wash them ...??

Haven't seen you here (at rec.aviation) in forever. Cool.

Hope to see your plane.

Hope to see you on Wednesday.

How many footer?


I'm not sure. I'll find out next week. I think a smaller one - but big
enough to tow a trailer.

There are two others who will be using it, with me.

Funny you should say that. I've got an old Tilly-style hat (an old
Oshkosh hat, actually) that I use at the hotel when I mow the lawn.
(3 hours on a riding lawn mower, in Iowa summer sun.)

After 4 summers Mary insisted on washing it. I, of course, hadn't
noticed anything, but she just rolled her eyes and said it was gross
beyond belief.

It shrank, of course, but one good lawn mowing session produced enough
sweat to let it stretch back out.

And I've now got my 16-year-old son mowing the lawn, so no more
troubles!

I've got to ask Hoover one of these days who made that hat of his. It's
going to end up in the Smithsonian I believe. He's been sitting on,
standing on, walking on, and farting on that hat for as long as I can
remember. That hat has more flying time between his butt and the seat of
his 51 than most of us have total time :-)
I wonder if he ever washed it :-)
