Well, Owen MacPherson and I are still planning to fly our KR's to KOSH ( weather permitting).
We should be arriving early ( Sat urday or Sunday , before) to beat the crowd on approach ( we hope). Since we are planning to camp next to the planes , they will probably park us in the boonies. Let us know where/when the "Brats and Beer " meeting is planned before departure so we can find the KR Heads on the field . The forum on Wednesday should work for us attending it as well ( ass promised to Jim) . Cheers Guys and see you at KOSH.
