OSHKOSH 2010 - Meet Up

Will be there Sat - Wed.
Will be showing Camel at Airdrome stand.
Any other F-Chatters going?

 

I'm going to try to convince my boss to let me accompany one of our DC-3's down there....

 

I wish that I could be there. I've never done it but I hope that I can before I have to attend that big fly-in in the sky. Maybe I can send something by proxy.

C'mon. We rented a house 5 miles from the field. You can crash with us. Bring your own booze, though.

 

Thats cheating, do it right and "camp out" under the wing of your creation.

Cheers

 

Been there, done that. In the rain.

You guys go ahead.

We can compare notes over one of those $6 Oshkosh soft drinks.

 

Almost identical to what I was going to say. I have listed the airplanes under which I have spent some wonderful nights and some, just as you mentioned, in the rain. The last time was under the wing of a Travel Air. Woke up to the " Foggy Dew" but we flew a Dawn Patrol and got drenched from the water cascading back off the wings as we took off. Flew around in a temperature inversion, got warmed up as the sun came up, and gazed at the beautiful morning colors. Ah, what the ground pounders miss !

 

I don't have proper confirmation yet but it's looking REALLY good for me going down there!

Trying not to get too excited just yet but it's hard!

 

Have house booked, will be travelling in group going up.
Everyone needs to get a place to stay now.

 

I'd give my left nut to go, but I've never been keen on 'roughing it'.

 

You won't even notice the 'roughing it'. I've camped at both Oshkosh and Sun 'n Fun and had a great time at both. It's a lot like summer camp from when you were a kid -- lots of excitement, always people around (and talking flying). The 'rough conditions' are quickly forgotten amid the great people, fascinating airplanes, and crush of things to do.

 

I spent three days there back in 1983 and had a ball. Stayed in a dorm at the UW campus, from where shuttle buses took us to Whitman Field. Want to do it again, but it won't happen this year......

 

You guys are making me jealous. I grew up outside Milwaukee and used to go to Oshkosh every year. Learned to fly at an FBO owned by a guy that had a Baron, an SNJ and a Stearman. He used to host the SNJ group at his FBO in Hartford, Wisconsin as they made their way into OSH.

 

The Sopwith will be the display aircraft at the Rotec booth. I will be there Saturday through Wednesday it looks currently.

 

Are you going to display your profile painting?

 

I can if you would like

 

I thought that it could spark up the display a bit.

 

Yes it would! Done.

 

I hope that someone who posts on this forum TAKES PHOTOS!!

 

Russ, you have a PM.
Bob

 

I will be there waving the Ferrarichat Flag from Saturday until Thursday.
If anyone is there, leave me a note on this thread or drop by and leave word at the Rotec/Airdrome Aeroplanes exhibit

 

We are here with two of our new Flight Simulators. Come visit us at the ICON Aircraft booth.

Be sure to identify yourself to the simulator operators as FerrariChat members.

Hope to meet some of you guys there!
