Steve-I will go to OSH if there is a tribute to the Pietenpol Air Camper. If not I'llhead back home after Brodhead. It's just too expensive and expansive to be muchfun for me.If you're going to try to arrange something, maybe we could all park next to theTheater in the Woods where there is some shade and less tendency for the multitudesto lean on our planes to watch the airshow. I tried (not very hard, though)to get something going with EAA and there didn't seem to be a whole lotof interest.As I gaze into my crystal ball, I see that the SAA fly-in is more the kind of grass-rootsevent that Piets would find a home at and will become the pre-emanatefly-in for us in the years to come. OSH is still great but fast glass and warbirdsseem to be the direction there.Count me in for the gaggle to OSH, but only if there is a gaggle!Larry________________________________________________________________________________
