AirVenture 2017

[Flybyjim]

I had the same experiences as most of you with greeting each other. My youngest daughter (33) was with me this year for 5 days and she loved the entire emersion of all things aviation. She has helped a bit in building a couple planes when she lived at home, has some air time and stick time with me. It was exciting to see her excitement, however, what really got her attention was the PPG's, slow, open and free. Anyway, The Kitfox Team did it again with a spectacular new plane and a fantastic paint job on the speedster.

Larry and Julie were gracious hosts and did you see Julie's rig, impressive. I hope to make it again next year to talk to others I did not get a chance to speak to, I would also agree Thursday may bring more folks to the gathering. Thank's to both Larry and Julie.

The Homebuilder's dinner is on Thursday evening, which may force a choice by some.

Good to know, Stan. Thanks.

I have a banquet in the UL area Friday night that I am a presenter in. They kind of expect me for the dinner, but I've been skipping it.


That's it. Well just have to make Airventure two weeks long.

Friday night is the international tent dinner and one of my favourite events at Oshkosh. I think what ever day you pick it will havevsxheduking issues with someone.

I was offered a ticket to the Int'l Dinner this year, never been before and it was a blast. It was hoppin' to say the least... great conversation, music and dancing... but those pilots ran the beer trailer dry pretty darn quick! I was sorry to bag out on the KF group but it was a late minute offer that I couldn't refuse. I liked the Fri date, Seaplane Pilots Assoc Cornroast is Thurs. There is sooo much going on all week though, conflicts are to be expected.
