I plan to be there with my son. We'll be driving up from GA, arriving Sunday, and plan to setup a tent in Camp Scholler. Hopefully we'll meet some of the members here.

My wife and I are going. Going to pull our 5th wheel up there for Thursday night through Sunday late morning. Our first time at AirVenture. Taking my father along too (another first-timer).

Wish it could be for the whole week, but taking what we can get this year.

Also picking up our Sonex-B tail kit on Friday, and touring the Sonex factory on Saturday. Everything after that will be gravy!

I'll be there the second half of the week, Wed-Sat. Flying commercial this year.

I am planning on being there the first part of the week. I may arrive on Friday before it starts. It is amazing but quite a few folks arrive on Friday and it is a good time on Saturday and Sunday. My favorite part of Oshkosh is to be there on Sat and Sun and sit out by the runway and listen to and watch the arrivals.

There is a picnic Wednesday evening at Wayne Daniels’ home.

Unless the Foundation BOD meets and schedules something, I am not aware of any other foundation events.

My 4 year old grandson and I will be there all week starting on the Saturday before. My little buddy, having been to Oshkosh twice before in his short life, has had a countdown calendar going since Christmas. Only 20 hrs flown off my Sonex so far, we’ll be camping. See you there!! Billy

I'll be there all week of course! Lol

Not sure how much I will be at the hangar in the evenings though because they are doing balloon glows almost every night now instead of just Monday so I'll be busy with that. But Michael feel free to reach out if you want to stop by the hangar and chat again!

As long as the weather doesn't look like its going to be another sloshkosh or a repeat of 2 years ago where everyone had to camp on the roads I should be there. If anyone needs something brought back from the factory to the Northeast to save shipping let me know. I am driving out with a large Suburban and have brought back canopies and cowlings for others in the past.
