Hi guys, I have been kind of sitting back just reading the KR Net lately and not posting much. I have been so busy with major changes at work and am also in the process of selling my house, relocating to Stevens Point, WI, buying a house there, etc...etc...etc... Anyway, the reason for this post is to again start pushing and campaigning for another record breaking attendance at the annual KR Gathering. You new builders out there may not know much about the Gathering and if that is the case, you need to visit this web site ( http://krgathering.org/ ) and make a commitment to attend. The subject line of this post says "35 for 35th". This is the 35th anniversary of KR flight and our goal this year is to have a minimum of 35 KR aircraft fly in to the Gathering. If this is achieved, it will indeed be a record that has never been set before and that is to have 35+ KR's together at one time. Just think what this will do for the future of KR aircraft. I am appealing to all KR builders and pilots to make this Gathering an event not to miss. I am also encouraging and begging all KR PILOTS with airworthy KR's to fly their plane to the Gathering. I just took a look at the pre-registration list on the Gathering web page and right now it does not look too bright. Only 16 people have registered saying they will attend and of those, only 8 of us have committed to flying out KR there. I am going to add some incentive to the mixture here.....If you commit to flying your KR to the Gathering and actually show up with your KR, you will receive a small engraved plaque that will be worthy of mounting inside your cockpit possibly on the instrument panel. This will be similar to the engraved plaques which are attached to trophies. I have not completely decided on the inscription and am open for suggestions. It should read something similar to "I flew my KR to the 35th CELEBRATION of KR FLIGHT, MVN". It will be done with taste and could even have your "N" added. There are only 5 months (160 days) till this event takes place and we need pre-registration and committed pilots. If you are a pilot who is going to help us achieve this goal by flying your KR to the Gathering, please register as soon as possible. Will you proudly display this plaque in your KR? I will and I sure hope you will too.
