Someone suggested last year, can't remember who, that as we taxi up to HBC, to put up another sign in the windscreen with the row we want to camp in. The idea is to get as many Kitfoxes parked together as possible. I think "700" was the suggestion.  

  

Might work. How about it?  

  

Lynn . . . gonna go around again this year or over the top?

Around the bottom of Chicago, although as I get close to Gary, IN, I  

start to think about flying along the shoreline. Not many places to  

land there, but a lot more than going over the water.

Seems like we were in rows # 9 and 10 last year, eh, Marco? Close to  

the john's, and close to the ICE!

What's "700"?

I gotta remember to leave my tiki torches behind this year...bummer.

I fly the shoreline from time to time as I'm located at Schaumburg, and

previously waukegan. Truth is there is pretty much nowhere to land, and

even if you aim for the clearest spot you can find it likely has a bunch of 

people on the ground. Best bet carry life preservers and stay close to the

sail boats which are always around.



Worse comes to worse it's only about 30 minutes of high pucker factor 

anyway  after Gary:)

Jeff

I think I'll stick to flying under the 3-4000' level of Chi's B  

airspace, on the west side....like my flight instructor tells me:  

"You're retired, and it's only 30 minutes further...what's your hurry?"

I've flown to Osh twice now, and the fog or shore mist has been bad  

on both of those trips going up, and on the one return trip...went  

around the top of Michigan on the other. I can't say whether the  

"inland" route is any better, but it beats swimming.

I will be flying up to Oshkosh from southern Ohio. Does anyone have suggestions on airports in northern IN, IL, or southern Wis. that sell mo-gas.



In anticipation of using 100LL I ordered TCP from ACS, and it is back ordered. I started looking around and it seems it is unavailable from the manufacture. I will have to stay with mo-gas.



I should be arriving in Oshkosh on Friday or Saturday, and will be camping in the homebuilt area. Hope to meet some of you there.

"700" is the first slot in row 7. Last year I was in row 3 (313), also very close to the toilets. I think it was Bruce Lina that suggested 7, probably because that's where he was parked? Never mind the torches, bring more beer.

You were at least one row in front of me, and I was in row 9, 10, 11,  

or 12, don't recall  which, so I think you might have been row 13,  

slot #3, eh? And Bruce was behind me, so row 7 sounds about right. I  

got lucky last year to have a friend drive a "welcome wagon" and he  

was up for a beer run, so that worked out just right. This year, I  

might be tempted to air freight some in myself...is that legal?   

Guns, no, but beer? Gotta check those regs again, dammit!
