    Jim,

    I appreciate the info. EAA website had info on it that was a bit confusing about being eligible for judging and a couple of other things. I'll make a play for Vintage this year (get in early enough, hopefully won't be sent off into the south 40.) Looking forward to meeting other Shortwing pilots and their planes this year. N5731D is hard to miss.

    Greg

    We are getting everything together to depart for Oshkosh this weekend. We should be somewhere in the area of Theater in the Woods around the Pasadena Rose Tri-Pacer in my Dad's Red Clipper and my brother's yellow Clipper. Looking forward to some cooler air than what we have been having in Texas. We also have a Short Wing Seminar scheduled for 2:30 on Wednesday July the 25th at Workshop Classroom B. Details posted here. https://www.eaa.org/airventure/event...C545536D242E6D

    EAA has an application you can download on your phone with maps, schedules and lots of other useful information. Look for it in your app store and it is free. Looking forward to a week of airplanes and airplane people.

    To those traveling to AirVenture, remember to download and print the 2018 AirVenture Notam before departing. The 2018 Notam is 32 pages in length, same as last year. However, 27 pages have changes when compared to the 2017 version. I attended a presentation by Fred Stadler at the EAA Chp 252 monthly meeting last Thursday where he reviewed the Notam. Additionally, for anyone planning to use VOR navigation from the south, be aware the BURBUN and TIMMERMAN VORs are both being permanently de-commissioned on Friday July 19.

    JCMA, I've done that a few times. I rented a cargo van and used it like a tent. Also served as transportation. it worked out well the year it rained buckets of water, and blew Port a Potties over. One of the regular air mattress will fit, with space around for your stuff.

    I’m just across the street from KARR, in the west suburbs of Chicago. The weather has been bi-polar all day. Sunny for 30 then raining for 30. Rinse and repeat. This low is nasty stuff. Everyone be careful !

    My Dad and I are in spots 2 and 3 from the East end of Row E 68. Right next to the runway. Should be close to the Hanger Cafe. Left Texas yesterday. We are headed up from Memphis this morning.

    Planning on heading out Wed. again in a RV8. Camp in rear of homebuilt area. There is a lot to be said about being in a IFR plane that can get to 15K, auto pilot and burn 6 an hour at 160 kts. I would never give up my short wing but just saying. Hopefully I will get there in time for Steve's forum.

    Frank has a point. Made the wx decision yesterday. Jumped in the truck and just arrived.
