I'd say an event like this -- sponsored by EAA, no less! -- will put poor
Larry into some sort of vegetative state...

Too bad it's UI graduation that weekend -- I'd love to go!

Like I said before, my objection was to Mr. Honeck's worldwide
announcement implying that pilots en route to EAA Airventure stop in
for an intoxicating beverage:

Yes, for those pilots who are hot, tired, thirsty, and en route to
Oshkosh on Sunday, July 27th, Mary and I are holding our First
Annual Fly-In Pool Party at the ...

Pathfinder), you'll arrived more refreshed -- and, besides,
where the heck ELSE are you gonna get free beer en route to the
Big Show, anyway?

Is there a free sober-up room to go along with the free beer? :-)

Publicly suggesting in a worldwide forum that pilots stop en route for
a beer seems to add fuel the news media's penchant for
sensationalizing each incident of such pilot violations. Is that the
image airman want to project worldwide? The choice is ours.

I wasn't the first reader to question Mr. Honeck's ill conceived
marketing ploy:

"Marketing ploy?" Larry, a marketing ploy is designed to MAKE money.

A "party" is designed to COST money.

Trust me -- we haven't broken even on the pool party yet -- let alone made
money! (Nor would I want to make money on it, quite frankly.) The idea is
to say "thanks" to all the pilots en route to the greatest show on earth,
and to celebrate another great year -- period.

This year it's July 23rd. No admission. No strings. Just free beer, pop,
and food, all burnt at poolside to a delicate patina -- by yours truly!

Perhaps. But it would seem that you have a rather captive audience,
in as much as pilots will be unable to depart for 8 house after
consuming the last free drink, and you are in the business of renting
rooms for the night.

Well, you could lay down in my hanger, I suppose.

We've got two couches there -- one comfy for sleeping, and the
other that we got from the "University Surplus" store. It's hard
plastic, and was obviously designed to be cleaned with a fire
hose, for those "post party" power yawns...

It would seem that your policy is not to provide complementary rooms
to the guests you entice with beer, so it might accurately be
characterized as a marketing scheme if they are made to pay for a room
at your establishment.

I was perfectly willing to drop this issue, but you keep drawing my
name into it, so you force me to go on reminding you of the facts.

Ah, Larry . It is you who continue to impugn yourself.

But, be that as it may, you're always welcome at the inn for a cold one.
Even if it's a soda.

as a fact: every one, especially a pilot, should know when to drink beer or
not. So it is completely up to the pilot to drink alcohol and rent a room
at Jay's place or somewhere else (or sleep in the plane).

Dearest Larry,

Please GIVE IT UP!! Jay provides at his own cost a party for all of
those who WANT to come. If you think the "enticement" of a free beer is
enough to drag a unwilling pilot to a party and force them to spend the
night at Jay's hotel you don't think much of pilots. For those who wish
to imbibe they would have the choice of staying at Jay's or I'm sure
they could walk down the road to some other establishment. They might
even have some self control and drink, dare I say it, water!

To bash Jay for offering up a lovely social occasion is out of line!
Now, if only it was early enough for those of us who park the planes at
Oshkosh ...

We will see you when you land and I'm leaving Wed. night open to drag
myself all the way to the North 40 where Jay hosts (with the barbequeing
brilliance on Mont Blanc) another lovely party.

Cheers to Jay!! (and Mary, and the kids). While I disagree with Jay on
almost every political topic in the world the Honeck's are in my view
the pinnicle of "flying family".

Margy
