Hi all,
We knew that it was coming, but now its official. Kudos to EAA Hq staff to cancel, the health of the members
to attend paramount.
Lets plan on 2021!

be safe!

Now I have a better excuse for not flying my Waiex to Oshkosh 2020!

Guess it was inevitable, but I really thought this would be my first year to attend... O well, here's to 2021!

Anyone think Sonex could/ would still do a low key homecoming? Easier to arrange than something as large as AirVenture...

As a matter of fact, we have entertained the idea of a "Homecoming" in conjunction with our local EAA Chapter over a month ago. There is a lot to consider like actual dates, how long, camping, etc., etc. More improvement has to happen between now and July so we will not make a decision until late June. Who among you will fly in if an event is planed?

I just ordered my tail kit so clearly I wouldn't be flying in, BUT as a prospective / current builder it would be AWESOME to visit a Sonex fly-in to see a bunch of the planes in person, in one place.

John Monnett, it's highly unlikely I will ever fly into airventure, but I am very interested in flying my sonex to a special homecoming event.

Is it acceptable to "Fly" the Buick to the homecoming? Will there be a beer tent?

Thanks for stopping by John! (Mr. Monnett, Sir, sorry I'm still new around here.) I'm game for it, 541 and I should both be ready by then. Plus I've got some extra vacation to burn now since both of my big trips for the year were cancelled.


Might be a BYOBT.... (What kind of Buick? Don't want to hijack the thread.)

I had already booked an airline ticket and a hotel, still didn’t cancel, so I am more the happy (even excited ..!) to attend a Sonex “Homecoming”.
Count me in!
