The POG at Oshkosh
Just got off the phone with Mike and he and Jon have officially encamped at the previously discussed spot. The coaches have landed.
N630SU has made the trip from Houston to Rockford, Ill. (skirted around the front and the thunderstorms) and we are preparing for the evening hanger party before the mass flight tomorrow.
Will post some photos later, but the temp in Rockford is 72 but slightly wet. Much better than Houston.

Weil POG2OSh has officially started w/ the arrival of 3 busses.
We're looking forward to the arrival of JDUB and his FLying V's. Won't be the same this year without Pilot Lew to give us the tour airplane land.
Will post some Texas size photos tomorrow.

After making a bombing run on poor Lew, Jerry and the BonanzoEttes landed in mass today (100 planes) in Oshkosh. I have to tell you that Jerry flies a hell of a lot better than he drives that bus. Very impressive.
He and Rae are camped under the wing down the Hill from Park Prevost, so Jon, Al C and I are keeping close tabs on them from the comfort of our easy chairs.

MangoMike - The Man
Well we made it to OSH and we can use the airplane again, so it must have been a successful flight.
A great POG2OSH dinner last night at Camp Prevost. Mike whipped up some grub and we enjoyed the COOL weather. And we were able to retrieve my new scooter (remember the one Mike had at POG1) in his Toaster, so it is charged and we drove them over to breakfast this morning so life is good.

Scooter
Mango & Jerry......hey that sounds like a group from the '60's Mungo Jerry!
Oh well, I digress, what Ellen would like to know is what is the brand, where can she get it, and is it a quality item? We purchased an electric folding bike a few years back and have had nothing but trouble. Ken
P.S. We wish we could be with you folks. Ellen is from nearby Appleton. Maybe we could plan a POG rally for Osh Gosh By Gosh for next year? Since Ellen still works, some one has too, we have to schedule vacation in advance.

Well we are in the catbird seat again this year with a parking spot on the end of the row right next to the approach end of RWY 9. Someone augered in at the other end of the runway first thing this morning, so it has been shut down until just now.
We have the premium viewing spot, so if Mike gets up here shortly we will post some pictures. All we need now is Lew.
Also, remember to post any pithy comments about Jon this week while he is out of touch. Mike told him last night that the POG had a new LED thread going in his honor.....

K & E,
Missin' you guys - but will see you shortly at Camp Hatteras.
This is the scooter you want - from Dave's Motors in Utah. Free Shipping if you mention Lew's name and waist size.

Make sure you get the EX model.

Heading down to Join the big guy on the flight line.
All you POGers, even if you're not a pilot or airplane fan (Lew take note) this is truly a fun event, well organized, nice people, great bus parking spot (dry camping next to the airfield) and a good time. Mark your calendar for next year as the Mango Mothership is definetly returning.

This is really pathetic. Jerry has gone too far this time. Just so he could keep his generator running to continue to post harrassing notes about Jon he's caught stealing fuel from some poor saps airplane.
The shame.
