Oshkosh Mini Rally

[truk4u]

Hey Mango, we need the parking poop for Oshkosh!

Tuga - Any idea where we're parking or directions? Glad you'll be there with me at Osh so I have someone covering my back from the mini PP's..

Joe - Are you coming?

[jello_jeep]

Yeah plasticster, when you get to the fork in the road, you will see a sign, plasticselloutsters to the left, & down by the crapper. Bus parking to the right, up the hill to the first class parking area

Trukman,

Make sure you polish the beast before you show up. They know you're coming, but think you're driving a Prevo. Looks like your Avatar is right on the money.

Checking in from Camp JDUB out at the North 40 and the Bonanzas made it in okay (all 110 of us). Well almost all. The right wingman in my element dropped off due to a possible engine problem. On the return to Rockford he had a cylinder come undone and that led him to a cornfield landing. And it was a newly rebuilt IO550, so that hurts even more.

Anyway, we are set up on the end of row 537, it is about 55 deg here this morning going for a high in the 70's today. Tuga made it up okay and was here when we landed, so thanks to him we have been to the store and are all provisioned.

I did get to thinking about Krak4U coming up in the PlasticTrukster and wanted to make a few comparisons.

KrakWagon - 75 mph 7 mpg on gasoline
N630SU - 200 mph 9.7 mpg on gasoline - advantage JDUB

KrakWagon - plastic box w/ crapper
N40 - plastic boxes to crap in advantage JDUB (no dumping)

KrakWagon - little Onan gas generator
Camp JDUB - little Honda Generator - advantage JDUB

KrakWagon - gas powered RV fridge - advantage Krak4U
Camp JDUB - Igloo ice chest

KrakWagon - queen bed
Camp JDUB - queen bed - a wash

Krakwagon - need to find WiFi to post smack
Camp JDUB - KR-1 wireless router - everyone can post smack

KrakWagon - Parked with Prevost & Newell
N630SU - Parked with 108 Bonanzas - no shame here, advantage JDUB

Summary:

Flying to OSH in your Bonanza and camping in a tent is decidedly better than having to show up in a plastic POS to hang out with your Prevost buddies especially after you sold your sweet Marathon coach.

We will try to get some photos posted when the action starts.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What JDUB doesn't know is that Tom's mission is to bring the missing tail pieces to the Bonanza crowd so that they will have real airplaines by the end of the OSH experience.

Cornfield landings have the potential of violating radio discipline.

And much more.

Jerry, found out yesterday that the son of a friend of mine from Nebraska is working the airshow. He is a high school guy and part of the Civil Air Patrol in his area. His group is working the show doing crowd control and parking. I sent her a pic of the POG crew taken last year in Osh Kosh so he can be on the look out for you He is a starry eyed pilot, inherited the gene from his grandfather. I doubt you will see him but just in case, his name is Shawn, he is tall and thin with red hair. Maybe you can teach him a few things

Jdub: "Can I get an amen"?

Jeep: AMEN

Deb,

I'm on him. He is right in front of us parking planes at the North 40. I have a photo I will post when we download. When I asked about you, he said you were hot. What's up with that?

LOL, well it is 95 degrees here today and I am hot! Shawn has only met me once at the World Morgan Show in OKC and he was up on his horse getting ready to compete--I doubt his mother's age friend made much of an impression but thanks anyway! Send the pic, I will forward it to his mom--she has attended the BAB parties at the OKC show so all you have to do is mention the bus to Shawn and he might know who I am
