But if I did-they'd know it for miles around




I do understand your concerns regarding the amount of aircraft traffic in the area during Air-Venture...when YOU leave the planet's surface, the 'Big Sky' theory no longer applies!


Why do you think he's not aloud to do beach jumps -

Yep - Tidal Shift . . .


I just thought he was gettin' tired of pullin' harpoons out of his ass! B|


Yeah, but you KEPT RELOADING before he could run away!

Hey Twardo you got any pictures that have been taken since I've been born?:P:DB|




Here's one from last year, marking our 25th year opening the show, the guy on the left and I are the only original team members still making the yearly pilgrimage.

That white 'Pioneer Double Zipper' jumpsuit is the same one I used back in 1984...yeah yeah, probably before you were born! :P

When do you think you'll be there. I get in Wed. and I'll try to drag Twardo to the Acey Deucey that night if he takes the Geritol Extra Strength. Fri-Sun I'll be working booth 1014. We'll have Mike Goulian, the Aeroshell Team, Rob Holland, Ed Hammel, and Patty Wagstaff signing autographs there throughout the week. I'm sure there will be vendor volleyball at The Bar a few nights-always fun to watch.
Oh, and a couple of airplanes will probably show up:)

You would think a few decent pilots would too . . . But . . .

I was talking to the one of the guys that'll be circling you-wait til you see the trick we worked out. Don't worry, I assured him that it was perfectly safe;);)



We talkin' about in the air or at the bar?! :o


Has to be AIR, Divot doesn't go to the bar.


He dragged the pillow biter in there last yet, tried to get him drunk and take advantage! :S

I feel so loved... No, really, I do. :)

Gotta give you props-you weren't a bad looking dude until the years got the better of you.

Don't you wish you had saves just a little of that hair?

>it's a riot.

You know what's funny -in the EAA magazine everything about Oshkosh is all wholesome and polished like an antique Beech- but from what my friends tell me, at night Airventure is basically a gigantic boogie for pilots with hookers, strip bars and lots of alcohol. :D:D

A place to get away from the family for a few days......:D;)

The event is so large and varied that you can find whatever level of entertainment you want. There's family groups that have a wholesome good time and there's the hardcore party animals that run 90 miles a minute the whole time and everything between.
Your perception of the event says more about the people that you get your info from that about Airventure itself.

I live in Kaukauna, about 1/2 hour north of Oshkosh. It'd be great to get together with some of you guys.

More importantly, Wolfriver Skydivers is in Shiocton (W34) about 45 min north of Oshkosh. Far enough to be away from all the traffic in the sky.
3 jumpers gets the 182 up, depending on pilot availability. I'm going to be at SDC until Tuesday afternoon (woo hoo SummerfestB|), but I'd love to jump with you if you can fit it into the schedule. And if we can't find one of the other pilots, I'd even love to fly the plane on a DZ.com load or two.

Feel free to PM for contact info.

Oh I agree:D:D
they do have some funny stories though.... like the time one of them was planning on some sleep in one of the dorms there....big mistake- on a night where a large group had local strippers hired for an all nighter.

But absolutely there is a more dedicated aviation theme for EAA as a whole.......I don't know about those other people- but at least that's why I joined:D

If anything, I have a pair of crutches to assist with. :ph34r:
