Here's the group. It was a great time. You are all very welcome, I enjoyed it too! I just wish I could have spent more time talking to everyone.

No problem with the cart ride, Paul. I'm sorry I had to bail from the STOL show, I needed to attend the award ceremony for the UL judging.




Same place next year?

now with that said, this was another very great Osh. I have found out how to take the kaos out of going. I take the blue airplane (southwest) fly into midway in Chicago, then I rent a car, drive up to Waupun Wi. each day we drive in and it takes about 25 minutes. Our total cost with 3 days in Osh, about 2000 dollars, that's rental car, motel, food, and flight, along with admission to airventure. way cool time, enjoyed meeting up with everybody on Friday night. my favorite has to be the ultralights along with the stol compititions. My wife liked the warplanes, so did I. We took their little tour around everything over there. the Pioneer airport was real cool as well as the museum. We made our way over to the float plane airport as well. Our favorite thing to eat was a sandwich at subway, roast beef with cheese lettuce tomato and ranch dressing, yum. there was a little restaurant on the way in that had French toast to die for, homemade bread big and thick, yum. Tarberts was the name on highway 26. Already planning on next year, same time, same way, same motel. Now to wait the year.

I decided to go about 2 weeks before the Fly In. I had to wait for July 27th to leave, my wife & my anniversary is July 26th. I decided to drive up from Dallas, I was thinking of camping, but then I came to my senses, and decided to get a Dorm Room. So I called with very short notice to the University of WI Oshkosh, surprisingly I got an air conditioned room. The room was about $125 per night. The city of Oshkosh runs a shuttle bus service is $30 for the week all you can ride. I parked my truck and only used it one night to go to Appleton to have dinner. I like the University Cafe for breakfast, fast and very reasonable price i believe it was $8.

Personally I really like staying at the dorm.

I like it too, Paul. It's where I've stayed for the majority of the dozens of times I've been there.

I am sorry I missed the gathering this year, hope to attend next year. We camp between rows 29 and 30 each year with about 10-12 from our EAA 122 group and 8-10 from Texas. It is always a great time with not enough time to see everything, hang with friends and see all the Kitfox folks. I do manage to pick brains while at the Kitfox display. John, Debra, Brandon and all the crew are so grateful with their time and advise. Now if I could figure a way to not have to work and just build life would be complete.

I'm bummed that I wasnt able to stick around longer. Glad to have met a few of you. Had a family engagement with 4 of my siblings that have not been together in 25 years.
