Guys- Just surfed over to Grant's BPA site and he says that theEAA and Tom Poberezny enthusiastically support a mass fly-into celebrate the first flight of an Air Camper 70 years ago !!(Grant has some connections at EAA and is well respected.....sothis could really be a shot in the arm for Piet and would-be Pietbuilders, eh ?)I hope that all of you guys who are 'close' will burn the midnightoil this Jan-June to wrap it up and get the time flown off so youcan join us. Don't let flying into OSH scare you. It's easy witha no radio waiver. More on that later. I did it this year and itwas my first time flying into EAA and was a piece of cake. Really.All it cost me was 32 cents for the norad postcard clearance.You don't pay a nickel for parking there either. (unless you arecamping) You just buy admission like all the other people.Mike C. ________________________________________________________________________________

Whats the date for 1999 Fly-In? This year we flew in on our Harley, nextyear we may fly in on our Nissan W/Camper and in 2000 we may just fly inour airplane.For those who don't ride motorcycles, EAA had a special open house forall the Harley riders who were back for Harley's 95th Birthday Party andwas selling T Shirts with a picture of an Airplane and a Harley with theinscription, "The Best of Both Worlds" I agree, Our trip back was over5000 miles round trip.GordonMichael D Cuy wrote:> Guys- Just surfed over to Grant's BPA site and he says that the> EAA and Tom Poberezny enthusiastically support a mass fly-in> to celebrate the first flight of an Air Camper 70 years ago !!> (Grant has some connections at EAA and is well respected.....so> this could really be a shot in the arm for Piet and would-be Piet> builders, eh ?)>> I hope that all of you guys who are 'close' will burn the midnight> oil this Jan-June to wrap it up and get the time flown off so you> can join us.
