The Allison brothers (and our Dad this year) will be there. N119AZ, white
fixed gear C-182, parking at Fon du Lac, staying at Marion College. Planned
arrival is Monday, planned departure is Saturday. Actual arrival/departure
subject to whatever mother nature throws in our path on the trek from the
left coast.

Hope to see you all at Jay's campsite Wednesday night.

I'd suggest folks flying in post their tail numbers since you can go to the
ticket booths and ask one of the fine volunteers to lookup where a plane is
parked. Worked like a charm finding Jay & Mary's campsite last year.

I hate it when that happens! Last year, about two months before OSH, I get
a call "8240L is down for maintenance...some idiot ran the left wing into a
pole while parking at the fuel station". Ugh. Fortunately my brother's FBO
had a fairly new 172SP available as a plan-B airplane.

Hope you get some good news the airplane being ready in time.

Who's in for OSH '04?

I'm still not sure if I'll be flying N93332 or driving the Miata again to
OSH this year. I'm hesitant on my first flight into OSH which would be solo.
It'll also depend if I can get time off work...

You gotta fly, man. There's nothing to it!

I'm trying to get Mary's gumption up to give it a go this year -- although,
to be honest, I think it'll be harder on me to be a passenger. Other years
she has flown out -- but never in.

If it comes back on line in time... C182 N282ES (some of you will
recognize this n-number from several AOPA videos)
*Alternate (if my wife lets me come without her and the kids) Turbo
Arrow IV N920DM*

She knows the procedures, she has been through it multiple times. Put
that video cam to use with one of the kids in the back recording the
whole episode. Plug the intercom in so as to have the dialog.
She has to do it!!
We can even present her and any other first timer with an award on
Wednesday (don't ask me what it would be, I haven't thought that far
ahead, yet)

Jay,

Any stats on when "good" times are? We arrived about 6:00 PM Monday
night last year, and it was a piece of cake. Just before the initial
entry point, we had C180 traffic on our right and a Grumman on our left.
(And some dude in a Bo on an IFR approach. Why, I don't know.
Weather was clear and 100.) I was initially given the numbers on 9, but
then told to hit the white dot, cause the Bo was closing on me. Really,
was not a big deal. We did have our heads on swivels, though. (I'd be
interested to hear about the traffic at other times.)

Dan - Last year, we arrived Monday morning around 9:00 and traffic was
relatively light. Between Ripon and landing on runway 09, we only saw about
6 other planes. The guy in front of us was probably 3/4 of a mile ahead and
it sounded like someone was right behind us as we had to put it on the white
dot.

Hey Greg...fly to Fon du Lac, pick me up, and we'll fly to OSH...what do you
think? :-) Hey, you get another set of eyes and I get my first ride in an
Ercoup...sounds like a fair trade.

Hmmm, potentially sleeping in the miata or flying solo 1st time to
OSH...tough choice
