The OSH Pool Party is just 30 days away!

Sunday, July 25th, is our day to give back to the pilot community, in thanks
for another great year!

Fly into Iowa City (KIOW) en route to OSH '04, and enjoy:

- Free food!
- Free (real) beer!
- Free pop!
- Live music at poolside!

Stay 20 minutes or stay the night -- we'll be serving continuously
throughout the day and evening.

We've got three big runways, good instrument approaches, and plenty of free
overnight parking. Park on the ramp (or our FBO will park you inside for a
nominal fee), and we'll shuttle you over to the inn. We're located just on
the other side of RWY 25 from the ramp -- you can see your plane from your
balcony!

Last year we had folks fly in from as far away as California and New Zealand
for this little shindig, and we had a great time. Hope to see some of you
there this year!

I hope none of the pilots combine your real beer offer with a 20 minute
stay! :-)

I trust no one is quite that stupid. At least not without a "designated
pilot" on board!

Well, more than one AIRLINE crew has done something similar. Just keep
in mind that there is a very good chance your group would be held liable
is some numbskull did this and then crashed.

Sounds like a fun place to stop though. I hope you get a good crowd of
transients.

Larry???
Is that you???
Didn't you make this same arguement last year? Let it go man! It's a
dead horse!
Deja Vu all over again... :-))

So your saying that good advice isn't worth repeating.

Personally in this day and age, if I was Jay and about to give out free
alcohol at a party, I would be keeping a very close eye on everyone who
was drinking.

I don't think another warning about alcohol is a dead horse.

It is when it is brought up throughout the year, not just around OSH
time.
Jay has proven he is a responsible individual, as have his patrons
(it's a friends don't let friends thing). There are spouses and kids
around so it is not a college frat party event (most of us are too old
even attempt to repeat performances from our younger days).
I guess you could say that this is a "mature" audience in almost every
definition of the word.

Yah gotta be kidding. No one sober would fly in with that many planes
in the pattern.

If it works out I may fly over even if I don't go to Oshkosh although
it is a bit out of the way. :-))

Yes, it is. It was brought up last year and took forever for the
thread to die. Usually I enjoy seeing an active thread, but this one
was stupid and I was glad to see it gone.

This isn't high school graduation. The people going to Jay's have
most likely been in this newsgroup awhile and I'm sure know enough
about aviation to avoid drinking and flying. Even if someone got
hammered at his party, flew off into the wild blue yonder, and crashed
into a tower 10 mins later I doubt he would be held liable, even in
today's world.

I guarantee that when we first saw this thread, we were all thinking
"I hope some dumbass doesn't drink beer and then fly". Then of course
most of us dismissed the thought knowing that:
1)The people in this group are probably not that dumb.
2)The people in this group and at Jay's party would likely beat the
sh&t out of anyone trying to do it. Of course, YOU had to be "that
guy" to bring it up. Yes, it is extremely annoying. We are not
stupid people. Keep these warning posts for the reality tv newsgroups
or something.
