I agree that the Short Wing Piper Club's page is very nice. Also check out the Unofficial Cessna 120/140 site. I don't have the internet address, but you can easily find it on your search engine. Last summer I was a speaker at the Short Wing Piper Club's annual convention which was held in Dayton, Ohio, very near to my home in the Columbus area. I don't know what their attendance was in total, but I had a crowd of over 100 in my presentation, and it was SRO. Their banquet was very nice that night, and somebody from AOPA talked about the Tripacer that AOPA is giving away this year in their annual drawing. I've been a coupe owner for only a year, and haven't attended any EOC gatherings. But I would certainly use SWPC as an example of how to do it right. There are so many things to go to in the summer, especially Oshkosh, that it's hard to budget time and $$ for all that is available. While Dayton may not sound like a garden spot, SWPC arranged a private, after hours tour of the USAF Museum at Wright Patterson AFB for the attendees. If you've never seen the museum, it's worth the trip from anywhere to enjoy it, and plan at least a full day for really soaking it up thoroughly, especially if you like to read all of the posters and signs around the place. The Wright brothers bicycle shop is now owned by the U.S. Park Service, and while not very big, it's really neat to go to the place where it all began. For car nuts, the national Packard museum is also in Dayton. So, there are lots of places and opportunties out there. Jerry Eichenberger Columbus, Ohio N2906H
