I am thinking of going to Oshkosh this year. As Bob Cook will testify, just because I am thinking of going someplace doesn't mean my life lets me do it, but never mind...

I think Bob goes to Oshkosh...

Would anyone like to organize getting together there? Maybe parking together in the camping area, if anyone else is camping (I will, if I go)? Is that even possible to do?

I will be in the twin row at Arlington this year. I nearly always attend on Saturday, arriving at sunrise, and leave Sunday afternoon, but I might attend more days this year, not sure yet...

Anyway, I thought I would start this thread, see if anyone else is planning to attend either of these events...

Yup Frank, I intend to be there. I also put a notice of your flyin on the calendar page of this site over the weekend... Is it true that you have several 337s in your club?

Thanks for the invite.

Yes I do go, at least for a few days and like to camp out on the north west corner of the field close to the Walmart store.

Let's see if we can't get a group together. I will be there for sure..

I'll be in Oshkosh. I normally fly and park in Appletonm Wisc. and take the bus down. About 25 minute ride.

I will be at Oshkosh 7/22 thru 7/24 or 25. I will be driving with friends and camping near the front gate. If I knew where you were going to meet I would like to stop by. I would like to fly but the old Skymaster engines are getting a little HIGH TIME (2100) and I don't like to get to far from home, maybe next year. If I flew up in my friends twin Commander you still would talk to me wouldn't you, ha ha. Hope to see you there!!!!!

Jerry, Fly in and camp. Lots more fun. I have a small tent and a 1kw generator. It is a lot more fun than a hotel room (unless it rains).

We can keep this thread going (please do), but to make it easier for everyone, this weekend I will make a page and thread for each fly-in (Oshkosh, Arlington, Nanaimo) and list who is going, keep it updated for where we meet, etc.

we are driving over to OSH, staying in Rippon, for the weekend.
My wife's idea of camping is a hotel with no room service.
Pick a place and a time.

The hotel room sounds great! Let us know the hotel and room number and we will be over if it rains.. <G>
