Oshkosh Countdown underway... 218 days to go..

In case there's anyone out there who hasn't heard yet, there are several Club members heading for the Experimental Aircraft Association's Airventure in Oshkosh next Summer. I guess the initiative came from Avery, who attended in 2009. He inspired Mike and James to make the decision to fly in for the 2010 event. Then, Darren and Ken indicated interest, and when Dave heard about the trip, he signed up too. The more the merrier. There are side trips planned, perhaps, to Sporty's Pilot Shop and the US Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. These would be made either on the way to, or the on the way home from, the main event. Keep an eye on the blog for more news.

By the way, highlights of Airventure in 2010 will include the 75th anniversary of the DC-3 or Dakota, with a mass attendance of these remarkable aircraft, and a similar celebration of the Piper Cherokee, which clocks up 50 years as one of the World's most popular aircraft designs.
