Default RV-3 Builder's Meeting At Oshkosh - Tuesday, 1230, Van's Tent

OK, so there aren't many of us, but would anyone working on (or flying) an RV-3 like to get together at Theatre in the Woods sometime on Tuesday? How about 1100?

With the likely number of suspects, that might be too much room - we could maybe meet in a broom closet....but it would be fun to swap stories!

A few years ago, Randy Lervold did this and met under a tree in the RV homebuilt parking area near a forum building under a tree just off the street and taxiway that devides the warbird and RV parking areas. Wish I had a map to insert and a better description.

Why not just met at Vans tent then find a tree? Will be close to go look at everyone's RV-3.

Well at least we have some interest! I don't know how we could hold this without Doug, so how about we slip this to Tuesday at 1230, and I like Gary's inputs to meet at the Van's tent - we can show how much of a "force" we are in the movement to resurrect the -3! We can then go find a shady spot, perhaps with a little food or drink....

Slipping to Thursday is going to miss too many folks that leave after the first few days - but Dustman, we'll have to get together, especially if you're flying in - we need to see your airplane!

Tuesday, 1230, Van's tent!

Paul
