[FlyRotary] Re: Oshkosh report
My membership just ran out and I am
wandering whether I want to renew it after Arlington.
They stuck me and the rest of the
auto conversions way out in BFE with the certified plane camping
section, they only had two rows for RV's and only two rows for all
other homebuilt planes and the rest of the flight line was for war
birds antiques and classics with C-172's and Cherokees in the
lineup.
What the hell does EAA stand
for.

Well, I just got home after 5 days
camping with my experimental plane on row 121 at OSH.
I won't bore you with all the gory details, but I will say that it
will be a while before Tom & Company get any more of my money
beyond my membership dues. There was some talk among attendees
of starting a new organization (Homebuilt Aviation Association?) &
having a separate flyin. Speaking with some of the long-term
volunteers at OSH, it seems that Paul P. is more than a little
disgusted with the direction his son has taken the 'flyin'.
Since it's now obvious that EAA & Airventure can survive just fine
without experimental aviation, one thought was to approach the senior
P. about adding some younger blood to his SAA & attending his
Frasca field flyin next year instead of the 'AirVenture'
Carnival. Those of you who believe that changes are in order, please
make your feelings known.
