Count me in. I only hope the beer holds out a bit longer... and we don't outgrow the gracious venue. If I can be of any assistance, let me know.

mikeyj350 05-22-2016 05:39 PM

We'll be there!
 
4th Oshkosh, 3rd RV Social... Sarah and I are looking forward to it!!

(We may disappear for a bit to go check out that band no one's heard of though) :)

Let us know if there's anything we can help with too, we'll be in town by either Fri night or Sat morning.

This year could be my first Oshkosh since 1979 at age 8... When my parents flew the Cessna 190 down with me in the back and I watched the airshows sitting on the top of the wing.

Unfortunately I don't think i'll be able to bring my -6 down this year as i'm going to be there for work, and can't take the chance on getting stuck in weather on the way down. Assuming all goes as planned, I will try to get to the social. It would be great to meet some more of the people I keep seeing online here.

Never herd of the band playing this year? Does that make me old? Or are they new?
Anyway see you at the beer social!

Thanks !

IIRC they've been around since the mid to early 90's so yeah I guess you're old. :p We stopped by after Dierks Bentley last year and it was basically over :( -- so we had to keep on stepping down to SOS Bros :D. We plan to be there this year though - I like 3rd Eye Blind, but would rather drink beer and hang with the RV crowd this time. :);):)

Count Us In!
 
Thanks for setting this up, Dan!

Count my wife and me in for maybe two beers.

See you there!

New guy
 
Last year I had just started my tail feathers, so I didn't speak "RV" very well and didn't make the social. This year I got and an almost finished/done RV9 so I'm going to stop in meet some folks and say hello from NH. Looking forward to meeting the folks and seeing the RVs I've been reading about.

I built a Vari-Eze years ago, but now I'm find working without all the dust and smell of epoxy much more pleasant and rewarding, RVs are fun.

This AM the Beer Fairy came up the basement stairs dressed to kill (a string of pearls and clean underwear), and declared she was ready to party. The old girl was really pissed when we told her the Social was the 25th of July, not June.



So, let this be a lesson to all...mark your calendar! It's Monday evening, opening day at OSH, and 30 days from today. Location is the back yard at 1366 W. Waukau, west of the tower, just outside the EAA gate. Your location host is Arthur J. Gallagher & Co, i.e. Jenny, Shanna, Jennifer, and the rest of the gang. The Social is Monday, but they will be there all week with refreshments and shade, so stop by and say thank you. It has to be the best place in the whole world to get answers to your airplane insurance questions.

Sponsors have again tucked a few bucks into the old lady's purse. You know 'em, you love 'em, and you spend money with 'em; they all just want you to know they appreciate your business.

Barrett Precision Engines, Continental Motors, Delta Pop, EXP Aircraft Services, JD Air, Kitplanes Magazine, Perry Hill Automobile Company, SteinAir, TruTrak, and TS Flightlines

Serious message...let's be responsible. Keep an eye on your buddy. Walk or get a designated driver. Make sure all your people get home safe. 'Nuff said. See you there!


MikeyDale 06-25-2016 08:12 AM

Looks like it shouldn't be too hard to crawl back to my tent from there! :D

Paul from Flyleds 06-25-2016 05:35 PM

I heard there was beer being served, so I cashed in some frequent flyer miles.
No idea where I'm sleeping yet, but please add +1 to the Aussie crowd.
Looking forward to it!

Jack Beck 06-26-2016 07:07 PM

We are looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Infidel 07-05-2016 08:40 PM

Will be there with an RV admiring guest.

jimbo 07-06-2016 07:28 AM

I'm sure if you have enough beers, where you sleep won't matter.
:o

DanH 07-06-2016 08:57 AM

If Infidel has enough beer, you can go home with him ;)

pa38112 07-07-2016 08:21 AM

I missed last year because it is at the same time as the opening concert, and that is one of the draws for my wife - any thought to moving to a different time/day in the future? It is always going to conflict with something, but the concert is a big one...

LettersFromFlyoverCountry 07-07-2016 03:17 PM

Hoping to be there. Will probably make three trips over to OSH this year.

Updating: Nope. I won't be able to get over until Thursday evening.

beav 07-08-2016 04:41 PM

I'll be there with my dad. Looking forward to it!
