(JohnDRead@aol.com) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 10:57:38 AM PST US From: "Les Goldner" Subject: Zenith701801-List: Flying to Oshkosh? I am starting to plan a flight from the San Francisco Bay area to AirVenture this summer, with a group of faster aircraft, leaving from Santa Rosa CA. Never having done this before, I have some questions that some of you will be able to answer: . About how many Zenith CH 701s flew to Oshkosh last year? . Is there a special parking area where 701s congregate? . If you ever flew to Oshkosh in a 701 from the West or North West, can you suggest routes and daily travel schedules and are there good places along this route to camp-out or are motels the better option? . Does the factory offer any amenities to Zenith fly-ins? . Do any of you 701-ers from the West or NW wish join our flying caravan to Oshkosh?

I met a fellow from Washington in his 701 (long flight he said) and also noticed a couple of 801's there. Also a really nice 701 amphib at the float plane harbor. If I fly down, I'd be tempted to check the notam and sneak into the ultralight field, especially as I have a bunch of buddies that camp in that hayfield across the road. >From the ultralight field you could show the crowd some of the virtues of the 701 and even give a few rides. I flew a J-5 down one time and stopped overnight at Eau Clair, Wisc. Nice place. Also overnighted at Wautoma when I flew down my Starduster 2. ----- Original Message ----- From: Les Goldner To: zenith701801-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 12:56 PM Subject: Zenith701801-List: Flying to Oshkosh?

Hi Les; Great idea. I plan on flying my 701 to Oshkosh when it is finished. Having flown in there several times id 172's and an Arrow I would recommend that you down load the notam when it is available and fly in as a regular aircraft. Flying in to Oshkosh is one of the most memorable thing you will ever do as a pilot. It's a blast.
