Coming to Alabama
I'm about to start a few months working (for my current employer on temporary assignment) in the Montgomery area. Looks like I'll be in the US for periods of a few weeks at a time (then with a week or two back in Oz) between March and September. I'd like to try to make contact with any RV builders / flyers around central Alabama, to help while away the non-working hours. I'm happy to be a second pair of hands for someone so I don't lose those all important drill-deburr-dimple-rivet & repeat skills, or to just be extra ballast when you go flying.
I am an EAA member and I'll make contact with the local chapters when I get over there also.
if anyone is interested please send me a PM.

If I was tasked with the temporary assignment, I would start working on my employer to allow several days in Oshkosh the week of 20 July.

EAA 822, Wetumpka Airport (08A), just north of the river, 2nd Saturday, noon at the Yak Shack. You'll find it.
We have a few RV's. Doesn't everyone?

It's already been strongly suggested that I try to fit in a few days in Oshkosh by guys I know over here.....

Wetumpka came up when I searched, and was going to be one of the first places I contact when I get to the US.

Oh yeah.
Geoff, you'll like 08A. Way back when, the FBO rules where I was learning to fly absolutely prohibited students from going to Wetumpka without their instructor. Word was the place was a hangout for ultralights, skydivers, antiques, Pitts drivers, crop dusters, drunks, and fools....and chances are they would all be in the air at the same time. Naturally, I based there as soon as I could afford a flying machine.
Four decades have really tamed the place, but the spirit lives on.

Be good to catch up with you at Oshkosh. Plenty of rain up at Mudgee, looking a treat. Catcha soon

Cheers Pete, hopefully I do get to see you there!
And thanks to everyone else, I appreciate all the nice warm responses. I'll start making further contact over the next week or so. BBQ sounds great too!
