    Hi All,

    I just thought i'd make a comment here to get people talking about Oshkosh again.

    I'm bringing Dad (builder of the KitfoxIV I fly) with me. We've booked our flights (from Australia) and accommodation and it seems just around the corner now.

    I'd be keen to meet up with lots of you and really get the most out of Oshkosh or at least as much as possible. Who knows I may even be able to negotiate a Kitfox flight or two for Dad and I.

    I saw in the forum posts here last year that there were plans for people doing dinner and catching up, etc I hope there are similar plans this year.

    It'll be great to see some of the planes I've seen here in person and put some faces to the forum names.

    Cheers

    Jono

    I plan to be there from July 19 through July 26. As of now I will be driving. May fly if I can find someone who wants to drive the truck up to Camp Stoller from Indiana. I could be persuaded to take a cooler full of brats if someone will help eat them.

    I will be happy to host again this year.

    Maybe plan the same day & time to go watch the STOL guys play in the ultralight field after dinner?

    I hope I can attend! I'm going to the Orthopedic Doctor Thursday. I banged my knee pretty hard. If my knee hurts this bad in July, I'll end up canceling. It has already been 3 weeks.

    Well I went to the Doctor, he suspects a Meniscal tear, the cartilage that cushions the knee. The Doctor sent me for a MRI, so I have a follow up appointment Monday with him to see if surgery is in my future. He told me it doesn't heal itself. Time will tell if I'm going to get to go to Oshkosh.

    If there is a Kitfox gathering I'd love to attend. When and where?

    Last year it worked out pretty well, so lets do the same again:

    The Valdez STOL demo is on the ultralight field Friday from 6.30 - 8 pm.

    Lets have a get together at my Campsite (across the street from the Ultralight Field) on Friday starting at about 5 pm.

    I will supply refreshments & burgers/brats and all the stuff to go with. Nothing fancy. (A donation jar will be on the table, but not mandatory.)

    We can have a meet and great BS session over food and drink, then we can all walk over to watch the Valdez guys play on the Ultralight Field.



    Sound good?
