Subject: Pietenpol-List: Talked with Bill Rewey regarding Pietenpols to OshkoshHere is the scoop if you intend to fly into Oshkosh.You are encouraged to fly in with your own handheld radio if you like-there is no requirement to meet up at Waupun to stage.If you have a handheld radio USE IT. Borrow one, bring one, just to listen to the Fisk controllers, even if you're not the leader of a gaggleEveryone should leave Brodhead with enough fuel to reach Oshkosh-there is no fuel at Waupun.Next-and this is HUGE. The ASPHALT AT Waupun in NOT USEABLE !!!!!!!!! Only use the E-W Grass runway !!!!!!!!! Do NOT USE THE PAVEMENT.There is no gas at Waupun. Some may help meet you there with gas but be advised there is no gas at Waupun.Group leaders will get a clearance from the OSH tower via phone at Waupun and then proceed via the normal Fisk approach.The four or five ships behind the group leader SHOULD also have radios to listen up-you don't need to say a word but it is advisable to listen to what is going on.Normally there is =BD mile in-trail spacing between Fisk airplanes entering the Ripon corridor----if you're in a Piet gaggle the spacing is MUCH CLOSER....not formation flying but say 100, 200 yards behind the guy in front of you.Bill said the gaggles will fly slightly offset from the RR tracks from Ripon to Fisk so that faster traffic can pass you. (this per the Chief OSH tower controller that Bill has spoken to about this)Whatever your leader does, you follow. If cleared to 27, you follow and land on 27. You MUST read the NOTAM cover to cover !You can obtain a NOTAM (they'll mail it to you) or print it out---Go here: http://www.airventure.org/flying/______ ... __________

Dale Messner has offered to carry gas cans and meet us at Waupun.If you will need gas at Waupun you will need to provide your own fuel container with fuel. Dale will depart Brodhead early Sunday morning and is planning to be at Waupun at about 9:00am.Greg Cardinal ----- Original Message -----
