OK, time to start putting the Oshkosh plans together on a serious note. What time is the KR forum on Weds.? Mark Jones and I really would like to know how many KRNet members are planning on attending Oshkosh on Weds. I'm thinking, but open to discussion, a beer and brats open air dinner for the KRNet gang along with any KR pilots who make it to Oshkosh. If some of the people who simply attend the forum catch wind, well so be it. How does everyone feel about this line of thinking? I'm just thinking there are a lot of "squatters" at all these forums, as I spoke at one KR forum at SNF. Is the KR forum going to be held in the same area the one on the new wing was a couple years ago?
Next line of questions. I am not as familiar with Oshkosh as Sun & Fun in that I worked a couple years in the ground advisor tower there. Are there any good spots to cook out that we can get close to with vehicles? Beer and brats, along with coolers and grills are a load to carry. Don't ask me how I know. I have a great Coleman, Thermos........whoever it is, Grill as you go that will handle all the cooking. I'm either going to be camping in homebuilt camping or the big ol parking lot known as Camp Scheeler (sp), probably homebuilt camping. Seriously now, we would like some comments and a rough hand count on who is going to be at Oshkosh on Weds. Once again, so many people on these lists make comments they would like to put faces to names off a forum. Here is a great chance to do just that. Myself and Mark Langford and now Mark Jones have been involved in putting together basement KR gatherings, an east coast gathering, SNF group rates at motels, a couple national gatherings, along with a couple SNF very informal get togethers. I rank these well up on my flying experiences. If at all possible be there, you will find we all have something in common and conversation flows as if friends for years and, I hate this word but, fellowship in common and that is this love in building these flying machines that the uninformed think we are nuts to do. Chime it, let's talk about this. I am keeping my fingers crossed my Dynon unit will be in before I leave. If it is, we will do some great glass cockpit flying as it is all electric with an internal battery.
