Talk to these people as they are doing what you are dreaming of doing-> http://www.champaignaviationmuseum.org/
They are living the dream!
Or ride the Green tram from the Bus Park, out side the gate to the ATC tower only holding up your hand to show the wristband while traveling through the gate.
Maybe it’s just a sign of our times. Jack says there was a record attendance at this year’s AirVenture....
Thanks for all of the good advice and suggestions as it helps to lower my fears. The cafeteria on campus and Subway are on the list of safer eating places.
Does anyone have any updates to the suggestions made five years ago as I am bringing a grandson who has a serious peanut allergy this year to Oshkosh?
http://cubs2osh.com/ Steve Krog called me several weeks ago to ask if he could take control of the cubs2osh site. As he is a good Cub man and much closer to the folks at EAA in Oshkosh than I now...
"I hope you are as excited as I am about the 80th Anniversary Celebration of the J-3 Cub at Hartford and Oshkosh. It’s hard to get better than this. Attend a small, home town atmosphere fly-in, and...
If you’re talking about the slick sales types in Hanger D who would grab people from the aisle to sell them charging phone cases, they were asked to leave by the end of day four. Not soon enough for...
Because of my aircraft registration lapsing, the need for a biennial flight review, the controversial changes to the YE program and just doing other things, I had not flow a YE in over a year. As I...
As I spent almost all of my time working at my booth this year, I missed many great things that took place. Next year I will have no booth and time to just enjoy Oshkosh.
It's my understanding that this is a must see movie! I am waiting to see it locally. Might want to show it next year at Oshkosh.

I received this email from Charlie Becker,Director of Chapters, and Communities & Homebuilt Community Manager.

I am selling my Vintage Air Maps this time in building D booth 4012 and again trying to light a fire under people to have an 80thPiper Cub celebration. Both the Kolb and Quicksilver have been sold...
I discovered today by logging into the FAA site that they completed the paperwork yesterday. Now, all I have to do is wait on the US mail to deliver the papers. I may yet get to fly the Cub this...
It’s a long wait to have my aircraft registration renewed. I dropped my USPS mail box in 2014 and forgot that my aircraft registration address was to this P.O. Box. When my registration expired...
Many times in the past, I would invite parents to bring their kids and other kids to fly them in my aircraft under the YE program. Once the new rules come into place, I am not in compliance? Many,...
Having flown over 400 YE flights and many kids before the start of the YE program, I too am very sad to see these changes to a fine program. A large EAA chapter, who’s leaders I respect, are...
Please look my way and stop at my Vintage Air Map booth(1037) in building A to discuss Cubs doing it again for the 80th. I have pictures of the Kolb UltraStar that was used for a Christmas lights...
Not quite what you were asking for but might be nice to have at Oshkosh.

This will be my second time as an exhibitor selling pre & WWII sectional maps (Vintage Air Map) and promoting Grimes Field/MERFI/Champaign Aviation Museum in Urbana, Ohio. In 2013 I was located in...
In a few months, I will be using FPV.

Having fun flying my RC Night Vapor in the Champaign Aviation Museum hours before the start of MERFI (Mid Eastern Regional Fly-In ) at Grimes Field Urbana, Ohio this August 2014. The beautiful J-3...
A friend of mine, about your size and weight, flew a Corvair power Piet that he closed off the front hole to not even be tempted to take anyone with him for a flight. I sold my 65 H.P. Cont. Piet to...
