May I suggest Oshkosh July 27-Aug 2 for another Kolb flyin. Its been real
lonely in the UL/LSA camp ground the last few years. Last year there was for
the first time was a Port-o-let in the camp ground. John's friend Karla
(head of the ultralight council) made it clear that it wouldn't be allowed
ever again. In spite of the cold reception we get there it is a good time.
It is important that we fly in and show the EAA that there is still some
interest in ultralights and LSAs. I have tried to get it across to the EAA that Sun N Fun still has a strong showing of ultralights and LSA. Maybe they are doing something different.
Last year there were only three to four planes in the camp ground and at times there was no one flying. We were being told the ultralight vendor area would be changed to antique plane parking.
At the risk of sounding negative I don't want the bastards to win and
completely close down the ultralight area at Airventure (Oshkosh).

I should keep my mouth shut,but the UL-LSA just doesn't turn enough money for Uncle TOM for them to bother with us! I used to like and even belong to EAA,but since Uncle Tom took over it's turned into this GIANT money making machine / party for the rich and famous .Maybe we should start our own UL/LSA flyin ,invite the MFG's to come knowing there will be no charge for them to try and sell their wares and have an affordable weekend for all!
Sorry.....just not fond of the King Tommys EAA

Chris/Gang:
We have had an annual Kolb Flyin for the past 6 years. Next one is a couple
months away. Beats anything EAA can put out at S&F or OSH. The price is
right.
Also the Kolb Homecoming is an annual and also beats anything anybody else
can come up with.
That puts one in the West and one in the East.
Most of us are interested primarily in Kolbs because that is what we are
building, flying, or wishing for. We tolerate "others" and find most of
them pretty darn good folks too.
They are my two favorite flyins, along with our annual flight to the Rock
House in SE Oregon in conjuction with MV.

Last year it was held the third weekend of September.
Have not heard if and when the Kolb Homecoming will be this year.

I'm pretty sure I have been into 5Y2 on one of my flight up north, just
south of Grayling.

Wow. It's too bad that OSH has sunk to this level regarding ultralights. In the mid-eighties and nineties there was such a buzz over in the UL area. To me, it was about the only reason to go to make the 8 hour drive...
