I live at Poplar Grove, C77. We have both 100LL and mogas here. 101NM south of KOSH. I have made the trip one as PIC, last year, in a rental 152. I was about 5 planes behind Jim Hicke. Made it with plenty of gas to spare, but was there reasonably early too.

Hartford, WI (KHXF) is a great stop if you're coming up from the south. Selve-serve fuel, but the price is right. And the airport is full of friendly people.

Well everyone, we have 3 weeks until the start of the big show!

Just curious who all is thinking and/or planning on attending this year? Hopefully there's a big turnout of airplanes and builders. What's everyone planning on doing?

Can't wait to meet everyone!

Depending on traffic, I expect to make my usual grueling 4-6 minute taxi to Sonex World Headquarters on Sunday morning.

I will be driving up on Wednesday to Fondulac to meet 4 other pilot friends to pick them up and go to the house we rent every year. Will be leaving on Sunday. Hope to see you all there.

I am planning on arriving Tuesday Evening, leaving Friday morning. I'm flying from Rochester NY with my daughter as passenger this year. Will be camping with the South African group. A friend is taking some baggage in his car a few days earlier. There is not much room in a Sonex. I'll park outside the Sonex booth. I'm hoping the weather is kinder than the previous two trips.

I will be installing the wheelpants.


See you there
