ZENITHS TO OSHKOSH
Hi Everyone!
Here is an update on the festivities for the "Zeniths to Oshkosh" get
together for the Oshkosh EAA Convention.
The Banquet
This years Zenith banquet will be one to remember. We will be honoring Chris
Heintz for his amazing accomplishments in aviation. The banquet will be held
on the grounds of EAA at the Nature Center on Wednesday, July 27th, with
cocktails at 6:30 and dinner following at 7:30. Door prizes will follow the
banquet. Attending the banquet will be past president and Chairman of the
Board of EAA, Tom Poberezny. I will send another newsletter closer to the
convention with transportation and parking information. The catering will be
performed by Robbins in Oshkosh, with a bar provided by Fratello's. Tickets
for the event will be $20 each. The maximum seating will be 250 and you will
be able to purchase your tickets by mail with the information at the end of
the newsletter.
EAA Zenith Showplane Parking
EAA has confirmed the Zenith showplane parking will be just north of the
Homebuilders center on the flight line! So far, we have 30 Zeniths that have
confirmed showplane parking, and 10 Zeniths that will be parking in aircraft
camping. We have spaces for another 20 Zenith aircraft available. To reserve
a spot see the information listed at the end of the newsletter. I will also
be providing all the arrival information you will need by E-mail and in
future newsletters.
Accommodations
We have sold out an entire floor at Gruenhagen Hall at the University in
Oshkosh! We have Zenith builders from all over the world staying in 34
rooms. If you are coming to Oshkosh and need a place to stay, please get
hold of me by E-mail or phone and I will find a place for you. Many of my
neighbors have asked if they can help by providing rooms during EAA. Even if
you can't find a hotel room, I can take care of your accommodations.
What's Needed?
We could use some volunteers for the event. We will need 4 volunteers to
come to the banquet early and help make sure everything is working smoothly,
and to work the registration table. If possible, I would like to have a
volunteer who is knowledgeable with the Zenith Company to escort Tom
Poberezny during the banquet. Also invited to the banquet will be Paul
Poberezny and Adam Smith. Is there anyone who would like to volunteer to
work as a photographer for the event, and for Monday's 11:00 AM EAA
presentation to Chris Heintz by EAA on the Aerosqare? If you would like to
volunteer, see the information at the end of the newsletter.
We would also like a catchy name for the banquet before we print up the
invitations! Do you have any ideas what to call the banquet before I send
out our first official press release next week?
Group Arrival by Air
I received a nice letter from Andy Elliot I would like to pass along. If you
would like to work with Andy, please contact him at this address listed
below.
"I am looking for a few other experienced formation pilots who might like to
join me in showing the Bonanza, RV and warbird folks that they are not the
only ones who can do it! I'd like to put together a 4-ship for the
homebuilt review flights on Monday (and perhaps for an arrival flight on
Sunday).
I am putting out a call to any interested pilots with prior military, FFI or
FAST training only because there will be minimum time for organization and
practice. What would be required is a briefing and at least one practice
session away from Oshkosh, perhaps at Dodge County (KUNU), beforehand, most
likely Sunday morning. For those of you planning earlier arrivals, it *is*
possible to get out of Oshkosh in the morning and back in the same day,
especially since we will have reserved  parking spots.
Anyway, if any of you on the list are qualified and interested, please get
back to me off-list. If we get a sufficient response, I'll work the
coordination, scheduling and logistics."
