I have heard a lot of Oshkosh talk about the chapter and now that plane fun is over and we have 1 month till Oshkosh I think we should start getting plans together. There are two camps if you will. Those that are flying over and those that are driving over. It seems that every year there is the "well I'll go if I have a place to stay" and "I'll fly over if someone can take some stuff for me". 

I don't think anyone has the time and desire to have oshkosh meetings but if we could get somewhat organized it would help everyone out. If you have any desire or intentions of going please post them here. I'm going to try pestering everyone I see (I know a lot of people don't get on the website) and I update this accordingly.

That said please just post a brief plan of your intentions like this:

I'd like to fly fly my Aventura over and stay the whole week. If that is not possible I'm hoping to be able to fly over with someone else (which may make me dependent on there schedule). I would like to be able to stay in a camper if there is space, if not I'll bring a tent. Regardless I'm hoping I can bum some space with someone that is driving over to bring a bike and if possible my paramotor.

First official day is a Monday.

I'm going to be there the entire week.

I have nobody coming with me.

 

Not decided when I am leaving.

Thinking about getting there a day or so earlier to nab a closer spot.

However, Dave Horvath mentioned something about warbirds camping. 

Not sure if I want to volunteer at training command.

Bill David is thinking I should pull his camper with my Durango.

Can't fly the Piet and drive my Durango at the same time.

I'm bringing my hammock.  See what hammock camping is all about.

Thanks for the feedback gentleman. Hopefully, it keeps coming. I put together a little calendar (link below) that I will update that shows everyone's plans. I think we are going to have a good turnout from 582 this year.

Steve - if you are driving and tent camping would you be able to tow Bill's trailer so that the Dude can fly the Piet? Piet needs to be there, despite what the cranky ground control of vintage have to say. I'll fly it if my airplane can't make the trip but we need a plan A. 

Air Venture 2016 - EAA 582 Movements

Hi all - been away from things for a while. 

I will be going to O this year (all being well) and I'll likely be taking my ol' van and there'll be room for a passenger or two, and I have a hitch. So if you don't mind riding in a less than pristine vehicle drop me a note or call. I have no particular schedule but likely out Sunday/Monday, return Thurs/Fri or whatever works best for a small team. Camp out at Scholler.

We can establish a beachhead at Oshkosh ahead of time.  It costs a $238 per camp site.

We should consider doing this as a chapter.
