Oh Good! I was afraid if we all wore "propeller Beanies" we'd get mixed up with the Ercoupe guys... Kidding of course...

I heard Shortwings are featured this year at Osh.

I wonder if there'll be a mass arrival event like the cub guys did a couple of years back. If so, also wonder if there will be a way to plug into it...

Re: Sun N Fun April 2021 or Oshkosh?
OSH has figured out mass arrivals are bad. The ShortWing arrival will be one minute in trail which turns out to be about 1.5 (1.66)miles at 100 mph. Much safer. The ShortWing group arrival in 2009 in my opinion, though well planed and briefed, turned into an almost disaster. I bailed out, got away from it and flew in the regular Fisk approach.
The ShortWing Piper Club is organizing the arrival. WWW.Shortwingpiperclub.org

Re: Sun N Fun April 2021 or Oshkosh?
Question for those that have flown to OSH. This will be my first time flying and camping next to the plane at OSH. Do they always direct the vintage birds to the vintage area? Or is there the possibility that they'll park you by the north end of the field?

Depends how much room there is in the Vintage area. When it's full they will park you anywhere where is space. One year I was way South. We called it "North Fond du Lac".
