Bob,
From what I've seen over the years, you seem like a pretty resilient and resourceful guy. I'm pretty sure if there's any way to safely and honestly overcome this obstacle, you'll find it.
All the best.
Was there ever any doubt??
?.....
Not yet sure about Oshkosh. I do need to get an ANR headset (being deaf in one ear now and all) so I'll probably come in midweek for a spell.
Now go fly that beautiful bird that nobody on VAF would buy because they wanted you to keep it!
This means you WILL be camping at OSH right???
