Darwin,
I have an idea.

We get a sky crane you fly that and
I will fly the thingy in the back.

I know where the brewery is and we can probably
Supply RV NATION for a couple of years.

The Bell 47 won't cut it.:rolleyes:

Looks like I will finally make it! See y'all there.

Now that we have a place to stay close by (no driving) my favorite riveter and I will be there.

Big Iron 09 07-18-2016 09:13 AM

Planning to be there! This is the first OSH for me, so really looking forward to it! Safe flying to all, and see you there!

DanH 07-18-2016 03:34 PM

The early weather report for next Monday says a little rain is possible, so the Fairy went out and bought a new rain slicker, complete with matching hat and shoes.



She would be very disappointed if her friends don't show up, so she asked me to remind everyone that the Social is a rain or shine event. Bring an umbrella!

scard 07-18-2016 04:26 PM

Got it covered. It is Oshkosh after all! Hey, isn't she supposed to be brushing up on her injection line repair skills?

Coming all the way from South Florida
 
Plan to be thirsty, look forward to meeting RV'rs.

turbo 07-26-2016 07:50 AM

It was a blast. Thanks dan the man, :)

DanH 07-26-2016 08:01 AM

Well, another Social is in the history books. The weather was perfect, the beer was cold, and everybody smiled…a lot.



Nothing flies without money...no bucks, no Buck Rogers. Many thanks to Gallagher Insurance, Barrett Precision Engines, Continental Motors, Delta Pop, EXP Aircraft Services, JD Air, Kitplanes Magazine, Perry Hill Automobile Company, SteinAir, TruTrak, and TS Flightlines.

And now, a few more photos.

You know Jay Pratt, don't you? You should!



Andy and Boomer.



Bill Schlatterer (Petit Jean), Ernie Butcher (RV1 and Eagles Nest), and Jeff Point (be nice or get parked just north of Fond du Lac).



Steve, struck dumb by whatever Figs is saying.



Shanna Linton (L) and Jennifer Cummins (R), of Gallagher Insurance. Gentlemen, I assure you, my insurance agents (plural) are much superior to your insurance agent. Good prices, excellent service, and they know how to pull a tap without putting too much foam in the cup ;)


scard 07-26-2016 11:21 AM

It was a ruckus time as usual. I almost pulled the plug when Dr. Dan planned to put "Two beer Tanya" on a mini bike. Finally we didn't close down the party. Many thanks to all the sponsors!

roadrunner20 07-26-2016 01:17 PM

Thanks Dan for putting this all together! We all had a great time. Plenty of Cow!

Enjoyed meeting you and looking forward to the next time at TripleTree.

Jcummins 07-29-2016 01:18 PM

I had an AMAZING first Oshkosh, and so happy to meet everyone. Here are a few photos I had a small window of time to take in between beer pours!

Great to catch up with all the old friends and make many new ones! Great social event! See you all next year!

cccjbr6 07-29-2016 04:54 PM

Jennifer, the link does not appear to be working.

dbuds2 07-30-2016 08:37 AM

Great event
 
Thanks Dan and sponsors

zilik 07-30-2016 05:07 PM

Thanks Dan. I recycled my cup when they ran out.

DSmith 07-31-2016 10:26 AM

Thanks to Dan and all the sponsors! We all had a great time.

jimbo 07-31-2016 10:48 AM

I couldn't find the social! Walked up and down where Dan had posted the address, even used map GPS with no luck so I was bummed. It was about 6:30 Monday eve.....after the airshow.

Some of Jennifer's photos, and a few others.

Dennis Millsap, Melinda and Ken Harrill:



Two of your sponsors, Allen Barrett and Don Pansier:



Cookie rides the Ridley. Note that Ron is in fact holding her beer:



Oh my, what did Phil just say to Jennifer?



Boy, that was fun! Every year I look at post-Social photos and see folks I wanted to talk with but missed. Best I can tell, we had well over 500 guests, so I guess it's understandable. Thanks for all your kind comments; I apologize if I had to rush off to change a tap or something. And yes, there will probably be a Social in 2017.

Jcummins 08-01-2016 08:23 AM

Thanks for helping me upload my photos Dan!

Well for next year it's the 2nd house on the right (in the backyard) as you exit the AirVenture gate on Waukau Ave headed West. If you come to the turn to the Museum you've gone to far.

Also if you're on-time you are waayyyyy late. ;)

scard 08-01-2016 09:13 AM

Wow, I missed "Two beer Tanya" on the Ridley.

sglynn 08-01-2016 09:13 AM

Thanks Dan
 
Thanks Dan
