Sounds like a fun idea. If you have the pull then you might want to consider implementing
all your ideas, namely joint aircraft parking, a joint camping area
and a block of rooms at the college for those who prefer not to camp.
You would have to ask for commitments in advance but that shouldn't be too much
of a hardship. This year's campfire was a fun event and having us camped in
close proximity would allow for nightly informal gatherings rather than require
a lot of advance planning.
You'll be taking quite a bit upon yourself but the results would certainly be worthwhile.
Count me in!

Hi Joe,
I'm a 601XL builder from Dayton, OH. My 601XL won't be a B model by the 2011
Oshkosh, but I have been going to Oshkosh for over 20 years and would be more
than happy to volunteer my time making the Zenith brand, especially the 601XLB,
a highly visible aircraft at Oshkosh. As you get closer to what you think will
work for Zenith at Oshkosh, let me know ways I might be able to help out. Walt
Carey in Dayton, OH.

Subject: Zenith601-List: 2011 the year of the Zenith
Friends and fellow builders,
I started this discussion on the Zenith Aircraft builders and flyers blog. Below
is a copy of the post. I would appreciate it if I could get some input from
everyone on this subject. I would love to see the 2011 EAA Convention in Oshkosh
become the year of the Zenith!
------
Hope you all came home safely from Oshkosh! Another great year and once again,
there are no other kits on the field I would rather build than a Zenith! Once
again, by looking at the grass around the Zenith site in Oshkosh, the grass
won't be growing there for a while!
The Zenith tent had what I feel was an incredible turnout of walking traffic all
week!
With that said, I'm wondering where all the Zenith airplanes are during Oshkosh?
I have an idea I would like to share with the group and please take the time to
write a comment to this discussion so I can get an idea where I should go from
here.
I'm lucky enough to say I live just a few blocks from the Oshkosh airfield! I
plan to have my 601 XL on the field next year, and I have an idea that I passed
on to Sebastian - and he gave me his blessing.
I'm looking to see if there is enough interest among the builders to make
Oshkosh 2011 the year of the Zenith! Seeing that I live in Oshkosh, I know
almost everyone in management at the EAA, I work with the Oshkosh media, I know
where all the great eating and catering places are in Oshkosh, I would like to
volunteer to put a program together to make 2011 our year at EAA.
I can imagine many things, but I would like to get a discussion going to see
what you would like to see Zenith do in Oshkosh. It's easy to get a plot of
parking spaces similar to the RV parking near the homebuilt kit display. Is
there 25 or more aircraft we could count on to come to Oshkosh? If the answer is
yes, we can all park together on the field. I can set up group accommodations at
the university, or group camping on the field, or group camping where we park
the planes. Let's get Chris to Oshkosh and honor him with the recognition he
deserves. Would you like to build a kit on the field? Group cookouts? Maybe a
larger place to meet for dinner just for 2011? Any or all of the above things
would be covered with major press releases.
Not only would we all have a blast, but it would solidify the Zenith brand and
make the company stronger in the eyes of EAA members and the press.
So I guess to start the discussion, do you think we could get a minimum of 25
Zenith aircraft to attend Oshkosh 2011? We have 3 here already. Then after the
initial commitment, we can work on housing, etc.
So what do you think? Please give me your opinion.
Joe in Oshkosh

Joe,
I think that this is a wonderful idea! Please count me as one of the 25 with
high hopes that we can entice
more than 25 aircraft & their owners.
I like the idea of inviting Chris and honoring him for all that he has done.
I'd vote in favor to construct a 650 during the convention.
Please reserve me a room @ the U.
I'll throw my hat in the ring as a gopher for the additional help that
you'll need.

Joe,
I'm in the middle of phase I flight testing on my HDS finally. My 16 year old
grandson is pressuring me to fly him into Oshkosh next year. I would love to
be one of the 25 planes. Hopefully my wife will give me a week long pass.
