Troops,
It hard to believe but there are just 77 days left to AirVenture 2008 and the 50th Anniversary celebration of the CJ-6 at Oshkosh.
Plans are forming up and the two dozen or so volunteers are putting things in order. Things like a special, one of kind, commemorative coin. One of a kind commemorative shirt. . We'll be presenting an oil painting by one of our very talented members to the EAA Warbird Museum. Even a special hat.
We're going to have a Pig Roast. Our own catered banquet with awards and a quest speaker. Also forums and Crud matches.
If you want to stay in the dorms with the rest of the group, you need to call for registration VERY SOON! The number is [b]920-424-3226[/b]. Sarah Klein is in charge at the UoW. Make sure you tell them you want bunk with the RPA or RedStar Pilots Association. I understand we'll most likely be in the same building they usually put all the Aussies. That will be worth the trip just for that. The rate is $50/ night and we'll be having our own buses to and from the school right to our aircraft.
The whole experience starts at West Bend (KETB), WI. on Thursday July 24th where we'll have formation warm ups. We're staying at the [b]West Bend Americinn[/b] and the number there is [b]262-334-0307[/b] for reservations. Again tell them you're with RPA for a discount.
If you can't make the whole experience at ETB, we'll be departing there on Monday the 28th for the Warbird Show Arrival. You can catch up at ETB or go right to OSH. Remember Monday is a show day. Please be in by Tuesday because Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are our big days.
I am still trying to figure what will be needed for an event fee. Our very generous sponsors, [b]XIOCOM, Worldwide Warbirds, Cannon, and Windstar/NEXUS,[/b] have been very supportive and as a result it looks like we need to charge something around $75.00. We even got a bunch of lawyers to help pay for our big 40 by 40 tent! By the way we are still looking for more sponsors.
So far we have 71 aircraft signed up! That includes 17 Yaks. 130 members. Yep gang, we are going to have a real "presents".
If you haven't signed up and are planning on going, head over to the RPA web site http://www.flyredstar.org/ and signup.
