Proud Members of:

We celebrated our "Silver Anniversary" at AirVenture this year -- our 25th consecutive year attending the Experimental Aircraft Association's Oshkosh fly-in convention!

As always, it was a special time for our family, since it is rare that we can ever get away from the hotel for longer than a day or two.  But before we could enjoy all those laid-back days in the sun, we put on our biggest blow out of the year, our 5th Annual Iowa City Pool Party!  With 25 aircraft and over 75 people in attendance, a great time was had by all!

Then, the following morning, seven of us departed Iowa City together, and flew into Airventure together as a "flight".  This ensured that we were all parked close together, and the party continued throughout the week.

On Wednesday Night we hosted the 5th Annual H.O.P.S. Party at our campsite in Row 547 in the North 40 camping area.   This event is put on by a group of aviation newsgroup mavens, including Jim & Tami Burns, and Paul Montgomery, who are able to drive into the grounds with tables, chairs, coolers, and all the other things that can't be brought in by airplane.

As always, the show was excellent  -- click here to read a narrative and view photos taken throughout the week!
