I have a post-OSH "airplane lodging" request...any advice really appreciated.
With the Airventure Cup at the beginning of OSH, and the Great Canadian Air Rally three weeks after OSH, I'm hoping to find hangar or covered parking accomodations in the Milwaukee area for about 3 weeks following OSH, so I can fly both races without doing two X-Cs back and forth from Reno.
My plan so far is to fly from Reno to Mitchell, SD and fly the Airventure Cup, arriving in OSH on 7/25 with the racers. Will be in OSH till 7/31, when I'll fly back from Milwaukee (MKE) on my airline with my kids and Father-in-Law. I'll then return to MKE via jumpseat on 8/19 to fly the airplane to Ontario and compete in the GCAR on 8/21.
Any airport within easy striking distance of MKE would be very workable, and I can fly the RV from OSH to the temp parking on 7/29 or 7/30, then head back to OSH for our last few days there (whatever would work for a host). I'd like to keep it fairly close to MKE, as my family has "real" tickets out of there going home (not non-revving this time!)
If anyone has ideas on an airport operator or FBO that might have a corner of a hangar I could work a deal on, or if anyone in the MKE area has a corner I could hide the plane in, I'd be very appreciative, and would be happy to share hangar rent or share expenses in some way. And of course, a Super-Six ride would be part of the deal!
Any thoughts or recommendations are most welcome! Thanks much!
Cheers,
Bob
