Oh, well... I guess you take you chances... *smile* (I did hear about those crashed too.)

Re: [RCSE] NATS or OSHKOSH?
LOL! I was thinking the same thing! Not sure I want to be camped that close to the runway! I'm working on the almost impossible task of reserving a nearby hotel room in case I can't fly up there and camp out under a wing. For sure I'll bring along my Photon DLG and a an electric or two for early evening fun! Keith Funny that you and Benn mention camping out near the runway... That is exactly what we did. We were at the approach end of the runway, right under the runway extension line into Sun 'n Fun. It sure was awesome to see the P-38 Lightning (Glacier Girl from the Lost Squadron), several P-51D Mustangs, F4 Phantom, some Corsairs, F16 & F18's, L39 jets, DC-3, Grumman Albatross'es, many private/business jets, the new Eclipse 500 VLJ (Very Light Jet), Adams A500 and A700, Lancair's, Cirrius'es, and all the various other home built aircraft, etc. It was AWESOME! We were definitely woken up every morning around 7~7:30 AM as they started coming in for finals. Of course after watching them for a while and looking at some guys overshoot the base leg, then bank STEEP to make it back on line for short final (line-up with the runway) you could not help but wonder what would happen if the guy/pilot made a cross-controlled stall and nose dived it down into the ground... What would the chances be of being hit... *grin* If you end up going to Oshkosh give me a buzz. The chances are good that we will be going also -- if only for a day or two (over the weekend).

Cameron, If I can get the 172 ready by then (it's in need of LE repairs and some avionics work), I'm definitely going! I like what Ben Diss did, and will try to do the same. The thought of being camped out near enough to hear and see warbirds roaring off in the morning as a wakeup call is too hard to resist! I wish I had a Lance or Saratoga to fly there. I have over 1,000 hours in that type, and yes, what a great campout plane it would be! Keith RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Hi Keith, OSHKOSH -- I *AGREE*!!! My partner and I just flew down to Sun 'n Fun at Lakeland FL in our Piper Lance (e.g. pre-Saratoga). We camped at Sun 'n Fun -- we took out the back seats (2nd and 3rd row), put in some pillows, mattress and a couple of sleeping bags. In the evenings we either BBQ at the plane with the other pilots or eat at the local Margeretaville bar/cafeteria. We had a GREAT time. Also, pack in you HLG glider and impress the local/camping pilots! This way you can have your cake and eat it too! Regards, Cameron RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] NATS or OSHKOSH?
We haven't been to OSH in a few years. In our younger years the misses and I always camped on row 20, runway side. We'd get there four days early and stake out the spot, then head north for some northern Wisconsin vacationing before the show. Best part of that spot was the wakeup call from a pair of Mustangs on take-off at 8:30A every morning. The last year I was there was when the Corsairs wrecked. Never seemed as much fun after that. -Ben Keith wrote: I was just about to mail my registration in for the NATS, but a buddy called me up to ask if I'd figured out where I was going to camp and what airplane I was flying into Oshkosh this summer...Ah, #%@&*#! H.Oshkosh or the NATS... OSHKOSH BY GOSH! For those of you less enlightened, I am referring to EAA Airventure 2005. The biggest sport aviation fly-in/air show/party on the planet! Although I'd hoped to be flying to Oshkosh in an RV-6, it's not going to happen in time so I guess I'll just have to go in a classic 1967 C-172 square tail. Have fun at the NATS.
