Last year I did my darndest to gather as many possible Redstar aircraft, pi lots and enthusiasts at Wausau, WI (AUW) Downtown Airport the weekend prior to OSH for a formation clinic / warm-up for AirVenture. Seven aircraft sho wed up. We were tutored by 2 major players in the Redstar community. The re sults were several hours of informative & valuable ground school, some grea t group flying, new friends, an airport staff that treated us like royalty, local media coverage and 3 newly-card'ed formation pilots who flew at OSH in the mass formations. Attendees were enthusiastic & complimentary regardi ng the mini-Warbird Roundup, so we decided right then and there to make it an annual thing. So...PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING US THIS YEAR, JULY 21 - 24 fo r our 2nd swing at a bigger, better event! John "THUD" Casper was the "glue " for us last year and he has graciously accepted a 2nd opportunity to trad e his flight helmet for a Packers Cheese Hat and lead us through our paces, and the awesome airport staff are already busy planning CG-altering meals and AC-cooled meeting space, and will offer fuel discounts and assist w/ ov ernight accommodations. These are the type of confidence / camaraderie-building activities that mak e what we do so endearing to the dedicated members who love to convert gas to thunder as we proudly apply horsepower to the Bernoulli Principle! The b eautiful Wausau Downtown Airport is located on the water, next to a mountai n - not too hot, not too cold - 1200' elevation w/ 3100' / 5200' asphalt ru nways, 24 hour fuel and friendly skies far enough WNW of OSH to provide min imally-congested airspace - yet a mere 30 minutes away when you take off fo r The Big Show! Numerous impressive vintage aircraft are housed there and i t is a true-blue, welcoming aviation community and a popular waypoint / sto p-off for OSH-bound aviators! AND the EAA AirVenture Cup Race culminates th ere on the 24th - making AUW/ Wausau, WI the place to be for your own EAA " Christmas Eve!" Please consider me your contact for this event - and rest assured I will do my best to make it memorable for all! THANK YOU for your consideration - and SAFE FLYING TO ALL!
