Hey Gang,
Just wondering if anyone is planning on attending this year.
Gunner and myself will be in attendance for 6 days from Monday July 28th thru Sunday August 3rd.
http://www.airventure.org/
For those that dont know, Oshkosh / Airventure is the Largest Airshow and gathering of Aircraft of its type in the world. Attendance is nearly a million people with Hundreds of WW2 AirCraft and Thousands of other types of AirCraft.
Several of the 327th Steel Talons will be attending and well as Gunner, Keebler and Myself of the Cactus Air Force.
Let us know if your planning on being there.

Those Steel Talon guys are Kool...err cool.
Some of 'em need to sharpen up on their golfing skills though.:p (I shouldn't talk though I suppose :))
Love to go Grimm...but it isn't in my schedule.
BTW...it was great meeting you, even though it was short. I was chatting with Jordi at the time and may have been a bit distracted. You left before I could have a chat with you about scenarios....which Jordi and I ended up chatting about. Midway in particular. We'll have to hook up for a beer next year.

Hi Grimm,
My brother (Krillen) and I plan to bring Krillen's newly completed Kitfox to the show on Monday. Look for a white with a green stripe Kifox.

Cant make it this year grimm. Looks like I'm going to be moving into my new house on those weekends. We'll try for next year.
-
Yo Grimm.... as i said ill come up for Saturday the 26th. (will not be spending the evening though... too much $$$ )
email me and give me a meeting time & place. (time after 11AM preferably for driving time)
Ps. JB42 said he'd come too.
-
Wow it's that time of year already!
JB, if you're going this Saturday, I'll take a drive up there... should be a drop in the bucket compared to driving to Indy! I got stuck in Chicago (I-80 / 294) for a frickin hour and a half on the way back.
-
I also expect Kool on Saturday.
Perhaps we can figure out a spot to meet up to watch the Airshow at 2 or 3 pm. It could be sort of a AH gathering spot at Oshkosh.
Ill see if I can think of a good, easy to find spot.

cc oct .. now 42's backing out cause of germanfest or something ....
grimm .. i was told you gotta pay the $40 to become a member of the group then the $30 for the entrance.. that true?
if so the CON took alot out of me .. i might not be able to spend $70 + for a few hours entertainment :(:(

Grimm,
You never did post those pics from last year. At any rate, I'm planning the same arrival. 1000 mile air race from Kitty Hawk direct to show center. :)
Hope to catch some of you all there. :)

I might be right seatin in a Beaver, ( that's right joke away, at least I bring a beaver!) depends on the repairs. The plan was my pal needed some work done on the floats, if it's done in time we're goin, if not we'll stay home and buy beer and look at pictures of the masses of parked aircraft.
Dang it's getting close...:(
Maybe i'll look into renting my pals 172 and sleep under the wings, at least that way I left seat,hehe.

Kool,
Why dont we plan to meet up there about 1:30pm. If your early you can get lunch, if not it will not be long till the warbird show.
Warbird Cafe is a good spot.
That should give you decent time in the morning to look around.
-
Not going to make it either fellas, sorry :) Duty calls elsewhere.
-
Tomorrow Im heading to Oshkosh... Ill be there for the next week enjoying and living Aviation.
Iv got plans to meet up with anyone interested.
Right now it looks like we will be meeting at Warbirds Cafe around 1:30pm on Saturday. If there earlier, we will have lunch. Then we can find a good spot to view the Big Warbirds Show and other preformances.
