Troops,
For us CJ-6 owners and pilots, August 28, 1958, is a special date. On that
day the prototype CJ-6 made its first flight.
Last night at the RPA's BoD meeting I put up a motion, and it passed, to
have a special celebration of the CJ-6 50th anniversary at the 2008 Oshkosh
airshow.
That the primary mission is not unlike our T-34 and AT-6/SNJ brethren, and
that is to put 50 CJ-6s in the air over OSH. This is our association first
chance to celebrated like our brethren Warbirds.
Needless to say getting all this put together is going to require some help.
I was appointed to chair the committee that will plan and carry out this
"mission" along with one other BoD member, Dan Fountain.
I am looking for others to help man this committee. Pay is the same as
always, your blood, sweat, and, hopefully, satisfaction.
We want to plan something that all our members (Yak guys too) will want to
be part of.
They will be spending a lot of money on fuel, lodging, and their aircraft to
get there.
We need to give them the best of reasons not to miss out on it.
We have over a year to get our ‘ducks’ in order. We’ll need every minute of
it and we’ll need the help of every member. I’d very much like to have
this committee formed up by the middle of this month (March). I’d like to get
one member from each of our regions if that is possible. I’d like to get
some ideas on the table to present to EAAWB folks at Sun&Fun in April or before.
The EAAWB president is already onboard and meeting dates just need to be set
up there.
Besides the EAA part of the planning, we will need to work on the RPA
operational side, i.e. who, what, when, where, and how. The logistics need to be
coordinated so that the pilots need only to worry about their airplanes and the
flying part of the mission. We need to make the cost to them as minimal as
possible. It is a big job.
I believe we didn’t give this committee an ‘official’ name at the meeting,
so let’s call it the “OSH 50” committee. You can send me a note if you
want to serve.
I believe we can pull this off ladies and gentlemen and make it truly a
memorable event. And like any such event, it requires commitment.
Jim “Pappy” Goolsby
Chairman - OSH 50 committee.

Oh Pappy! You do love the big projects! Seems like you headed the push to get Bushi Cheng and his wife over as well – and that was very successful.
So I’m in. Sounds like it will be a blast. If a goodly number of Yaks join in we can create quite a rumble over OSH!
We’ll need to encourage 60 – 70 CJ owners to commit to coming in order to plan for problems down the line.
With that many CJs plus the Yaks and others involved, it may be possible to arrange for a fuel sponsor like BP.
Would you consider inviting Bushi again?
If the Yak 52 drivers help us out in ’08 we can reciprocate by helping them out in ’26.

According to RPA records there are 109 CJ-6s in RPA, with 53 pilots with FAST cards. |
There are 129 Yaks with FAST cards for YAK 49 pilot, (That's all types of Yaks).
Yep we will need almost total commitment.

Yes, and maybe some other surprises.

They will not be left out in any circumstance.

Well need to encourage 60 70 CJ owners to commit to coming in order to plan for problems down the line.
