Default 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.

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. :-))

You're kind of a bummer Matt. I'm surprised that you fly at all.

Hope you take lots of pictures you can post somewhere! Wish I could be
there. I'm shooting for Oshkosh (sp?) next year. This year my wife and I
will be going to the AOPA Expo in Long Beach (with a Friday night party on
the Queen Mary). I DO have to check out Airventure next year. Every pilot
I've every spoken to tells me it is THE place to be. I've heard some great
stories about camping next to your plane with lots of other pilots doing the
same thing - sounds like 'heaven' to me grin. Next year, I'll have to
make the pilgrimage!

Take care and have fun Jay!
