    Default Oshkosh 2018 group parking?

    Steve et al,

    I thought I remembered someone talking about trying to get an area set aside for Short Wing parking. Did that ever happen? Did it get derailed? Just curious, not sure yet if I'll make it up there or not.

    Jim,

    I'm planning on flying up on Monday. Would love to put faces to names and planes. If we can do it in something that looks like a group that would be great. Let me know.

    Unfortunately I'm not going but had an idea to at least connect airplanes to names. Maybe people should put something in their window with the shortwing logo and their login name. That way if you're not by your airplane and somebody comes by they could at least make that connection. Might good advertising for the board as well as shortwing info in general.

    I am bringing N8664D for one more attempt at a Gold lindy. Have made an array of tiny corrections from last year and hope to bring home the gold I will be arriving early as well.

    I'm probably heading up Sunday and planning on parking/camping in vintage. It's my first year going. If anyone else is around maybe we can park together ??

    I wish I would have read this BEFORE I left for OSH. I saw you taxi in, and thought you had a very nice looking Pacer. We were a row behind you in the Yellow/Black/White Twin Comanche by the taxiway.

    Mike, I’m sorry we didn’t get to meet up. I left a day earlier than planned because the weather didn’t look so hot on Sunday. I also have a problem walking across the grounds... between the proximity of St, Louis to Oshkosh and 30+ years of attending I keep running into people I know and we get to talking.

    Mike,

    Great looking plane! I was thinking of park in Vintage as well, thought they had some special requirements to be eligible to park there. If we can, I think that Vintage would be awesome. I’m planning on getting there Monday.

    Greg,

    Thanks! The previous owner did a wonderful Job with the restoration.

    Just ordered some vinyl for the tail so hopefully will have the original logo on for the show.

    My understanding is we are considered classic and can park in vintage no problem. Just put the sign with VAC in your window when you land.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to "rope off" an area for us? I have some friends within the organization, I can try and find out.

    If you rope off a spot you start paying then. In past years we have had a friend save us a spot close to Theater in the Woods. We send him a check ahead of time along with our name, EAA number, N number and color of the plane. Different guy did it last year and I wasn't in the loop so was down by the ultralites.
