Yes Sir,

Just under 3 weeks till the Greatest Show on Earth takes off again. Oshkosh Airventure 2004

http://www.airventure.org/

Will anyone from HTC be attending or Any AH Players going?

I expect Arrow (a cross country racer) and Kool of the 327th will be there, GunrCAF and myself will be making again for the week. I am surprised this hasnt turned into a gathering for the AH Crowd at least in the midwest.

There will be Hundreds of WWII Aircraft on hand for everyone to see and watch fly. Also Thousands of other aircraft will be there. There are tons of other things to enjoy as well.

In addition, There are always several good Flight Sim Demos and sometimes flight gear to check out.

A big plus this year, its not right on top of AHCON

Ghosth, Ozark, and Dhog.

Grimm, you got my email right? maybe you should start like a chain letter/ info mail to all possibles so we can try and hook up.

I'll be there for sure, it isn't a long drive for me either. And remember that the B-17 will be there again this year giving rides and tours. For a mere $395 you can get a ride in the beast (can't fly in the cockpit though). And for (IIRC) $6 you can take a walk through tour. The Post Master in the small town i live in took the flight last year (ex Nam pilot) and said it was worth every penny. I think my wallet says walk through tour.
Peace

Actualy I dont know if Aluminum Overcast will be there. It recently had a landing gear colapse and needed repairs. The thing With EAA is, wouldnt suprise me to see them get it home by then, but I wouldnt plan on it this year.

It is an awsome ride, Gunner and I did it a few years ago. Its something Ill never forget.

I just received the flyer in the mail yesterday! I can't afford a ride but was looking forward to a walk through with my camera. Bummer:(

I would bet that there will be at least 1 B17 on hand for a walk thru. I havent seen a guest list, but most years there are several B17s on hand.
