Hi everyone,
As I've mentioned in previous posts I am planning on making the trip from New Zealand to Oshkosh in 2013. I was fortunate that through the EAA rideshare board I was offered I ride from Dallas Tx up to Oshkosh, and it turned out that this would be ideal as far as air line connections go as I was planning on spending 3 weeks in England visiting relatives before coming to the US. On sorting out a workable schedule I have booked my airfares to come over. Unfortunately I have just been advised that the chap who offered me the ride was killed last month in an Ultralite accident, which is terribly sad as he seemed like a great bloke. I now have the problem of sorting out replacement plans to get to Oshkosh whilst I can still transfer my existing airline bookings.
Currently I arrive in Dallas on Wednesday 30th July and depart from there back to NZ on 5th August. I have limited flexibility with dates as I have booked leave from my employment, but I could transfer my flights to other locations. I deparately need to sort something out soon or I'll have to scrub the Oshkosh plans and lose my airfares. Is anyone able to offer me a flight in to Oshkosh on similar dates? Unfortunately I received no other responses to the Rideshare post. I know its still more than 6 months away, but thats what I need to book leave and get decent Air fares!
