Home from Alaska, we are. Can't afford two multi-AMU trips in a year, so
we're going to have to miss Oshkosh this year. First time in 33 years. Damn. At any rate, our "airshow chairs" (fold-ups that collapse into a small diameter carry bag for airplane transport) are up for grabs. They are recliners that have little footrests that pop out and prop your body at about a 45° angle, just right for watching the afternoon airshow. We bought them at Oshkosh ten years ago and haven't been without them since. They cost us a pretty penny (actually, about 5000 pretty pennies each) and are in mint condition. Free to the first taker. A couple of conditions: 1. You pay actual USPO mailing charges to get them. I'm guessing somewhere around $20 the pair to the CONUS. 2. You have to be going to Oshkosh this year. 3. If you don't take them to Oshkosh in subsequent years, you make this offer FREE to other people in this ng. Jim |

Are you hanging up your OSH spurs for good? Why not just save em to go next year if not... Dave RST Engineering wrote: Home from Alaska, we are.

Because I've got three rooms full of "save it, you might need it" around here and these are really specialty items meant for laying nearly prone, or at least at a 45. We have multiuse foldup chairs that might get me a crick in the neck at airshows but are much better for slouching around a cold one at the end of a long day. Jim |

If I am the first, I'll take them to Oshkosh and abide by the rules.
I'm very unhappy that you will not be there. I've not missed any of your forums. Earl RST Engineering wrote: And they are REALLY comfy to sleep in.

Hey, Montblack ... since you are the designated "heavy hauler", I'll be
happy to donate them to the camping cause if you will accept them and let them be used first come, first served. No problem with free shipping if you will give me a USPO mailing addy. My pleasure to add to the Oshkosh camping "experience". Jim "RST Engineering" wrote in message ... Home from Alaska, we are.

pleasure to add to the Oshkosh camping "experience". Wilco. E-mail sent. Thank you. Montblack, I would like to suggest that we set up those chairs in our traditional conversational semi-circle (that always assembles following dinner), and leave them conspicuously unoccupied, so that Jim & Gail will at least be there with us in spirit. Once properly assembled in the aforementioned semi-circle, a solemn toast shall be made in the general direction of Grass Valley, CA, after which this arrangement will be maintained as a shrine throughout AirVenture. Or, barring all that, we can always use them to keep more beer handy... :-) Jim, it ain't gonna be the same without you guys. Hope to see ya next year! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Paul, do you have a source for male and female blow up dolls that can be dressed up and set in the chairs. Remember to put a tie on Jim's avatar. |
