Who's coming to Oshkosh?

[Yooper Rocketman]

I will be down there on Thursday, the 28th, for the Lancair Banquet.  If I'm lucky I may be able to tack an additional day on the front or back of Thursday.  Rocket will be staying home, as I can drive that trip in 2 1/2 hours from the U.P. (and leave after dark in my car).

I'll be there all week.  Any other Mooney folks in the neighborhood please do stop by the AOPA tent!

  Here's complete AOPA schedule of events for Air Venture

I must warn you that Byron covers his plane with a tarp now and charges $5 a head to look underneath.

There will likely be 50 Mooney's parked together in the North 40. So it's a great place to come look at paint jobs, panel layouts, mods, etc. There's also a huge party tent with tables, chairs, lights, power (for charging devices), etc. If you're not parking with the group in the North 40, please come down to say hi and hang out with us. All are welcome.

Planning on being there Friday before to hopefully avoid the craziness and get a good spot on the north 40.

JKSmith: 

I Have been part of the Mooney Caravan for 4 years (What do you mean by Mooney group? Do you mean Mooneyspacers? Mapa? Mooney Caravan?) and always felt welcome even if I am from foreign origin: From Quebec with French as mother tongue.

There could be some people that prefer to hang with others than us but it is normal that some could have different fields of interest. With the number of Mooneys present at Oshkosh I am pretty sure you will find people that have common interest.

Please come at the Mooney Caravan tent and introduce yourself.

Regards,

Yves

What time does the caravan land. I'm doing the AVC race and it finishes up in Wausau at around 10:30. 

Actually the race starts at 9am so i cant be at Oshkosh until around 12:15

We will likely be on the ground before noon. I think we'll be landing closer to 11:30am.

We are going up early Saturday and staying the week. We will be camping in the North 40 and have 3 other Mooney drivers flying their birds up and camping as well. 

[Zulee]

You may look for us in our typical North 40 shade position.

I may have seen your mooney in a video I watched recently of Oshkosh departures!

My friends and I will be flying in on Saturday. This puts us usually nearby the large showers in the North Forty. Two Mooneys, mine is N1137Z. Look for the Wisconsin Badgers EZ-up tent. I'm not the most outgoing guy, but I find that if a shared love for our Mooneys isn't enough to break the ice, a cold beer is. Haha. Hope to see you there. Safe flying.

I'll be looking for you since I plan to park on the north 40 as well. I've got a 5 hour flight ahead of me, which is the further ive ever been in any GA aircraft and the furthest my mooney has been from home in 8 years.

5 hours? You must be flying from somewhere other than the Logan County KY area.? Looks like a 440 nm trip.

Yep I'm leaving from 4m7. And meeting a friend 3/4 of the way there. Gotta ask, how did you figure I was in Logan county?

Some of the older guys are pretty smart, or just more observant.

I won't argue that one. Gotta watch you all, y'all are pretty slick. 

[Zulee]

No idea who took the photo of us departing OSH but I can tell you, they line up on the side of 27 with cameras and lens as big as trash cans...well, maybe not that big.  The picture I posted was actually on the 2015 Airventure webpage, so I like to share that part whenever I can. Hahaha

see you there 

[jastu23]

We come up from TKI, about 5 hours ourselves. We overnight in Madison to see my family and to be fresh for the VFR arrival. See you there!

I'll be looking for you! Doesn't look like you'll be to hard to spot. 

[FlyDave]

NotarPilot and I will be arriving Appleton late Tuesday afternoon (weather permitting) and staying in Appleton.

Jerry_5TJ and Marauder should be meeting us there.
