| Subject: | Oshkosh 2011 - The Year of the Zodiac |
Hi Everyone,
I was delighted with the response I received from builders who would like to
bring their Zeniths to Oshkosh for 2011. I received 18 replies from pilots
who would like to come to Oshkosh next year if we put up some sort of formal
event. So it looks like we will proceed! I even received 2 e-mails from
builders who would like to help, and one in Kenosha who would like to
coordinate a place to assemble before the convention for those who would
like to fly in formation to Oshkosh!
So here we go! I am meeting with Tom Poberezny on Thursday, September 16th
at 10:00 AM do discuss the possibility of having EAA help host our Zodiac
family. On my list of discussion points will be having a place on the field
where we can ALL park together similar to the RV's of today and the
Long-eze's of yesterday. We also would like EAA to give us press release
space in the magazine. I will also ask EAA to honor Chris and the family at
next year's convention.
Please help me by thinking about this and posting ideas that I should take
along to my meeting with Tom.
Once EAA agrees to a suitable parking arrangement, we can go on with step 3,
providing a place for everyone to stay in both the campgrounds and at the
University, provide transportation, publicity, etc.
Please help me by posting your ideas. We sure can have a lot of fun with
this!
Joe in Oshkosh
