I have seen some of the members here and would enjoy meeting others. Please bear with me as I am really bad about remembering names. Someone came up to introduce himself today, but it was just before I was about to fly in the show and I didn't have time to stop, so it probably appeared that I was being rude. Once I got back in and parked he was nowhere to be found. When not flying there is usually time to chat, but not when I am trying to oranize things for the flight in the last 30 minutes or so before takeoff.

I'll be out at OSH again tomorrow. I've had luck meeting a few WIX members so far, but I have yet to be around your airplane at the same time you are.

Bill,

I'll be there tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday. I'll try to stop by and say hi. Better yet, hope to see you at the WIX gathering tomorrow evening.

Barry

Bill,

Not exactly sure why you'd actually want to meet WIXers (They're a scurvy-looking bunch), but I think you've got a good chance of spotting a few on Thursday.

Start at 1000 when Norb Ruff describes his adventures by "Ruff Stuff". Next would be the commute south to the west ramp and poking fun, err, saluting Gary Austin at 1130 (WOA page has Gary identified as "CAF restoration person" :rofl: Think we could get that on a t-shirt for him?).

Still sunny and dry here. Crops are dying but great for flying.

How to find someone at Osh: If they are flying the show that they should be at the 12:30 briefing in the warbird bldg. We are all supposed to be there but as the saying goes "some are a little more equal than others"so it is not fool proof. Early am or late in the day lots of people gather on the front porch. You can also leave a message on the bulletin board, or with the folks at registration.

Bill,

I'll be there on Friday with the family and will definately keep my eye out for ya. :wink: I'll be wearing my light-blue colored WIX T-shirt with the ball turret logo on the back so you probably can't miss me. 8) I hope to run into a few other fellow WIXers as well!!!!
