GBRASH,

You are correct sir, I had forgotten about that post earlier on, and the administrator's response. While I'm not part of the planning/operations group. I will continue to push this issue...

I wouldn't say they weren't listening, but AirVenture is obviously a huge/complex machine and getting more bleachers secured and moved into place may not have been realistic in just a...

Keen9,

I hope you were able to take in this years event. If so, did you like it better?

Well tonight we faced even tougher wind conditions that during our first round of competition and our Friday Freestyle fun fly. What started as a direct crosswind turned into a definite tailwind...

Anyone had a chance to stop by the Cub Craftsers display and check out their new X Cub? When you do, tell them Thanks for sponsoring the STOL competition.

Yes sir, that is me. I'm glad you are enjoying the event

Today we faced even more difficult wx conditions. 10-15Kts left crosswind, wet grass, and landing downhill. Wx was enough of a factor that 5 guys elected not to fly under the conditions faced. ...

BeagleOne, Glad to hear you are willing to give it a try again. Let EAA know if you think it is better this year.

JajJ, I suspect you may have been seeing Frank Knapp and Lil' Cub out practicing the last few days. I know he is already in town. The A/C I referred too is not due to arrive until Sat or Sun.

Rumor has it that we are going to see a brand new airplane competing this year. I won't spill all the beans, but it was specifically built up to be a great STOL bird and is being flown by a...

One of this gentlemen's strengths in his airshow narration history, was his very vast experience in nearly all types of aviation and a very very broad range of aircraft and operations. So I'm pretty...

I am interested how many people have taken in the Valdez STOL Competition at Oshkosh. What did you like about it? What didn't you like about it? What would you recommend to make it more...
