I noticed a red Kitfox at Oshkosh this year that had an Indiana Backcountry Pilots decal on the tail. I did a search of the www and came up with nothing. Anyone have any info on this group?

There is a “Michiana Back Country Aviators” Facebook group for those pilots in the Michigan-Indiana area....
Not exactly what you were inquiring about.... but still relevant.

Jeff,
That was my kitfox at OSH. There are several of us from southeastern Indiana that fly together and one of the guys made the decals. We have a lot of fun finding gravel bars, fields, grass strips in the area.
I see you are from Carmel, I am not far south of you in Batesville. If you can make it out Sunday(5th) we are having a breakfast flyin at 73ii, usually 3-4 kitfox’s showup.

Bt,
I won’t make Sunday, my plane is still under construction!
I will definitely look you up when I get my 40 hrs flown off. I can’t wait to see what this machine will do...

Ft. Wayne area fox flyer here. Also my buddy has one who is the same guy that runs the Michiana backcountry aviators Facebook page.
We have several planes that come down from Indy area every month, hopefully you can join soon.
How close are you to flying?

I'm hoping for October for engine runs and getting it airborne.
I'll keep up on the Michiana group also!
