Robert, I plan to have my KR-2 at OSH all week for 2013. I volunteer at the Composites Workshop. The University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh rents out their dorm rooms for AirVenture. http://airventure.org/planning/where_to_stay.html EAA will have busses running around the grounds and into town if you need local transportation. Check out http://airventure.org/news/2012/120728_oshkosh-express-to-return-for-AirVenture-2013.html for possible airline charter flight from New Zealand and Australia. For any airline trip, best to get reservations well in advance. Don't forget your passport. The wife of one of our Chapter 478 members volunteers at the Women's Center on the EAA grounds; they have all manner of activities for non-pilots and lots of like-minded ladies to meet.
Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA ------------------------------------ Hi Guys.This is not really a kr question. But my partner and I have decided to fly over to states and see Oshkosh next year and this will be my first time out of Australia (If they let me!!).But does anyone have any good suggestions for accommodation around Oshkosh and what would I be expecting price wise. Next question is How do we get to Oshkosh as we will be flying into L.A. but from there I still haven't figured out what to do. Is there an airline that flys to Wisconson direct from L.A and how does the airline system work over there can a person just show up and book a ticket there and then on the day or better to book in advance?I suppose more importantly does any one have any suggestions for what the chief cook can do as she not a aviation junky like me and she thinks she will get a bit bored after a day or two of looking at planes.And will any other kr builders be there to catch up with (there's a KR question).Robert Gillwww.lilausydreamkr2.com ------------------------------
