Flying in either Sat or Sunday from Michigan, around the north end of Lake Michigan, in my Supercub. Camping in the North 40. Friends of mine are also joining the Cessna group. N85SD, red & white, hopefully the cargo pod will be on by then too.

Cell phone (no text): seven three four - two two three - nine four six two

Looking forward to meeting some of you!

Baloney is still baloney, no matter how thin you slice it.

Re: Any BackcountyPilots going to Oshkosh, Air Venture?

I plan on being there, but it is still up in the air exactly when--depends on winter wheat harvest. I will be parked in the VAC area

Nick,
I'll be flying out on the 26th heading back on the 29th. Taking the maule. I still haven't touched the Exec in some time, the maule is a hoot. I look forward to seeing you, I'll be camping under the wing.
Take care,
Tom

Re: Any BackcountyPilots going to Oshkosh, Air Venture?

I plan on getting to OSH Sunday night or Monday morning. I will head back west Thursday.

So do we all want to meet and say hi face to face. How, when, where.

I would suggest Tuesday we go to the outside deck at the Hilton for lunch and drinks. Then later meet to watch the air show. Aeroshell square out towards 18-36 where you watch the show. I can ware my BCP tee shirt.

The Hilton is on the north side of the airport. You can ride the shuttle bus to the Hilton.


Trade numbers???
I text five zero three 720 1917

I will tentatively say yes. I volunteered to work the Colorado Pilot's Association booth and haven't seen the schedule yet. What time for lunch, say noon?

Re: Any BackcountyPilots going to Oshkosh, Air Venture?

I will not be able to make noon on Tuesday. Will be arriving late Tuesday. Most likely will be camping in the North 40 (C172 N12343). I'll have a stocked cooler if you can find me.

How do you post pictures on this fourm?

Re: Any BackcountyPilots going to Oshkosh, Air Venture?

I will be flying the Maule up on Sunday and head back home on Wednesday.

Beekeeper- a good buddy of mine is one of the owners in the F4U that is always at OSH. The aircraft should be there all week and Frank should arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm sure I can hook you up with him and he would be glad to let your friend re-live some memories with the Corsair...it has a jumpseat in it so you never know what may happen...

Re: Any BackcountyPilots going to Oshkosh, Air Venture?

Flight of three leaving Roseburg Wednesday morning (Avid Magnum, C-170, Christian Eagle).
Tentative (very loose) plans are:
Caldwell, ID Wed. night.
Driggs, ID Thu. night
Custer County Fri. night (tour Rushmore)
Redwood Falls, MN Sat. night
Fond Du Loc Sun. night (not ashamed to say this night will find us in a hotel)
Into OSH Mon. morning.
Leaving for home Fri. morning with no return routing plans at all.

Short legs every day, tall margaritas every night.

If anyone knows of any good places to stop between Oregon and OSH I would love to hear what they are. I have to stick to pavement this trip for the Christian Eagle.

I'm in for a lunch get together any time.

Rob, I sent you a PM the other day, not sure if It was successful, let me know.

Look forward to meeting you all. See you there.
