				Les Goldner recently asked:
 
 "I am starting to plan a flight from the San Francisco Bay area to AirVenture this summer, with a group of faster aircraft, leaving from Santa Rosa CA. Never having done this before, I have some questions that some of you will be able to answer:
 ·         About how many Zenith CH 701s flew to Oshkosh last year?
 ·         Is there a special parking area where 701s congregate?  
 ·         If you ever flew to Oshkosh in a 701 from the West or North West, can you suggest routes and daily travel schedules and are there good places along this route to camp-out or are motels the better option?
 ·         Does the factory offer any amenities to Zenith fly-ins?"
 Les-Several years ago I flew to OSH in my 601 and spent the next to last night in Mexico, Mo.  I then flew up to OSH with the factory aircraft and a few others who had gathered there.  It was nice having a bunch of experts to follow on the great adventure of my first OSH approach and landing. It also got me a prime parking spot in the first row in front of the tower.
