I work in the homebuilt camping pavilion. I haven’t heard from bob patterson yet. But I’ll try to organize something for Tuesday early afternoon. 3 pm?

I would like to include a few unique photos that demonstrate the utility of the aircraft. If you have a good photo with good resolution, please send them to me. For example, stuffing a M...

I’m leaving SW Colorado for Oshkosh on Friday in the SR. I arrive early to get the homebuilt camping area ready. I hope to see many of you there and hope the Canadian government will lift its restrictions so some of you can attend from up north.
