Default Always "Here to help". See you there!

Dan, thanks for the intro and the opportunity. As the ol' saying goes, I'm from the FAA and here to ...well you all know how that goes. This could be a particularly tough year for the FAA at Airventure with all the talk about paying for the controllers, sequestration, etc. I'll leave that discussion up to those smarter and more informed than me. However, I am of the opinion that we (meaning you and I) can make a few great strides this year when it comes to Phase I flight test safety. Two biggies on the table that I've been working on-- two on board during Phase I, and allowing the transition training providers holding LODAs to do more with their authorizations. If you have an opinion (and who doesn't in this group?) let me hear it. I look forward to seeing the folks from last year who showed up in the HBC area, and to meeting new friends this year. I'll be speaking in two forums, 1pm with Charlie Precourt at the EAA welcome center, and at 4pm in more detail about what we're proposing. These are important topics. You CAN help make a difference. Ok, so keep the arrows in the quiver (or at least targeting non-vital organs) and Don M, i'll wear a pair of waterproof shoes and pants, just in case that whiskey jumps from the glass again!

Fly Safe and see you all out in OSH!
Mark

Dang ... and I thought you forgot about that. :-(

Want some in a glass this year, Mark?

Despite what many say about the FAA, it has some really good, young folks that love aviation working for it, and in my experience, Mark is one of them. I'm glad to have him in the RV camp, the Homebuilder world - and deep undercover within the FAA. Looking forward to seeing him at OSH, and the Rv gathering!

Cheers

Default Wow! an international event

It sounds like you are going to have a great time. Since you are going to be in the area anyway you might be interested in seeing the finish of the 400 nautical mile AirVenture Cup race the day before the AirVenture event begins at Waupaca, WI around 30 miles away on Sunday 7-28-13 weather permitting. There is a WIDE range of speeds so the finish window will be LONG! The fastest aircraft are launched first so the tendency is to spread out and not to bunch up - it is strictly a speed event. The launch time is scheduled to be at 0930 CDT (1430Z) but VMC is required over the entire course before the start is allowed and I have sat into the afternoon in previous races before conditions allow the race to begin. The two Turboprop Legends will probably be crossing the finish line by 11 CDT and the Taylorcraft will be sometime later. The RV-6A will be me.
