Airventure 2020

[bumsteer]

For all those who may have missed it or don"t receive info from EAA, yesterday Jack Pelton issued a statement concerning this years Airventure. As of now, EAA is planning on the show as scheduled July 20-26. However, with the COVID 19 virus, a decision on whether to go ahead as planned, postpone or cancel the show will not be made until at least May at the earliest or possibly later. So I guess I'm suggesting those of you who are making hotel/motel or any type of lodging reservations, car/rv rental reservations or anything that requires a deposit, to be sure you have some type of cancellation protection. I'm signed up for the first volunteer work weekend which is set for May 2-3. As of today, it has not been cancelled.

Stay safe, take care of yourself and family and hopefully we can all meet at the show in July.

Beyond disappointed. Words can not describe.

I sympathize Rick. I enjoy talking with everyone at the Kitfox Aircraft booth and being able to shake hands again.
Larry and Julie’s bar-b-que. A couple walks through the display buildings drooling over all the new innovations. The “hunt” for all the Kitfox aircraft in attendance and admiring the ever increasing quality of our members building skills. That’s just a short list. So much to be missing right now. Everyone just stay healthy so we can all be there next year.

I am also, Larry. While far from any kind of record, I've flown my homebuilt airplanes to OSH 21 times so far... this would have been the second year for my Kitfox. A group of us in this area are considering some other kind of flying adventure instead. A planned Alaska trip in June is a probable no-go now.

Bummed. I first attended Oshkosh in 1985. Been every year since except for 3. That first year I saw a little airplane in Dan Denny's booth. I looked it over and said I could build that!. Took 15 years before I ordered my series 5 kit. Counting down the days until next year.

Well, I thought maybe this might help. Camp Scholler campers will understand.
