I think the forum is the same time as last year, (but 8:30 Monday July 28th for sure). And it's listed as Forum 4, but when clicking on the map link you end up in Uvalde Texas! I really screwed up last year and asked for something a little earlier than the usual lunchtime slot, because I was tired of talking over Harriers and the beginning of the airshow, and was selfishly trying to leave myself an "out" to depart before the airshow if the weather was closing in on Tuesday. I never dreamed I'd be stuck with 8:30, which I'm sure will put a lot of people out. So I asked for the later slot back this year, but didn't get it. Chalk one up to experience. I'll try again next year. > I'll be flying up my KR2S to Baraboo WI Saturday (26 July) to attend the > Wittman Tailwind fly-in, and into OSH on Sunday morning. > So Mark L., are you flying JF up to Osh? I am planning on flying up for Osh, but have decided that I really need to make some changes before I fly anywhere that will require a fuel stop in the dead of summer. My carb is nestled right between four exhaust pipes on N891JF, almost touching, and that's really asking for vapor lock trouble when you refuel and allow fifteen minutes of heat soak time. Been there, done that, don't like to hear the engine stumble on climbout! So I'm going to do something different with either exhaust or intake/carb before then, and hopefully I'll be finished in time to fly to OSH. There's no point in stacking the odds against myself. Otherwise, I'll either drive or talk nicely to Larry for another great ride in like last year...
