We rented a single room with two beds
located ten *houses* (1½ blocks) directly North of the airport. A hot
breakfast was included with this air-conditioned lodging and our hostess,
the young wife of a U.S. soldier, was happy to drive us to the store, to
the
North gate, and anywhere else we needed to go. All this for $50/night
each.


Sounds pretty delux! Good going.

Thanks for the kind words about "Essie". She's getting a little shopworn
after six years but still carried us there and back with dispatch and
comfort.

It's nice to see something different, (than RV's).

Did you see that green Pietenpol? Perfection! Too bad the owner was
such an egotistical pompous ass, fruitlessly trying to keep all folding
chairs out of the display area. Kind of like holding back the tide.

Yes I did, and also the Pober Pixie was nice, too. The crowds were so big
Saturday, that the show area was full, all the way back. I have never see
that big of a crowd at OSH! Alsmost makes me think that EAA should provide
larger seating area, before the plane parking area starts. I wouldn't want
to have my plane at the burn line. Margy Natalie (and Ron came later in
the week) had her Navion right at the edge, and it was tough to keep
everyone off of it, completely. If you didn't see it, it is a real beauty!
