I'm in Salina now, with very intermittent internet connections. It is good at the airport, but often unusable at the hotel.

Looking at the forum and workshop schedules, no matter time we pick it will interfere with something else that is of interest to someone. But, clearly some times are better than others.

I propose two gatherings:

Tues, 1:15
Saturday, 10:00

Theatre in the Woods, on the end towards the flight line.

If anyone has a better proposal, now is the time to make it, with an explanation as to why it is better.

I'm hoping to make the first one. I think we have a reasonable shot at finishing this round of flight testing tomorrow (assuming the maintenance guys can fix today's snag), which should allow me to arrive at OSH on Sunday. I almost certainly won't stay all week, so I probably won't make the second one.

I'm in for whatever is decided. I plan to be there Saturday afternoon. No plans for a departure yet.

No one has objected, or offered a better suggestion, so we'll go with my proposal:

Tues, 1:15
Saturday, 10:00

Theatre in the Woods, on the end towards the flight line.

Hope to see you there.

But, but, but....that's too late in the day for doughnuts!



I'm kidding.

Thursday to Sat works for me. I would love to get together. I bought an RV-8 in January with 110 hours and now have 150+. I love this plane. I would propose Thursday afternoon, just don't know where to suggest. ??

We had the Tuesday PM RV-8 meeting yesterday - it was a good news/bad news story.

The bad news is the turnout was the lowest ever, with only about a dozen people. After I get home, I'd be interested to have a discussion to understand why most folks stayed away, and decide if we should change the format for next year.

The good news is that two of the pilots were with the Airbus A350, parked on Boeing Square. Terry has an RV-8, and Thierry is almost finished building his. After we were done, Thierry gave us a private tour of the A350 cockpit, then we walked around looking at RV-8s. Thanks Thierry!

Came to OSH (Drove, still building) first time with my daughter..

I would have been there but didn't know about it.. judging from the google search I did..looks to be MY fault for not knowing it existed!
Was at the 'meeting' Monday , where I got some great advice and motivation.. and was in OSH til Thursday.

Was there a memo I missed somewhere ,,, do I need to get on VAF more often?

Still learning,
Andy
