Is it too early to ask who's making the pilgrimage to AirVenture this year?? Any chance of a bit of a DownUnder PPRuNe meet??
I'm hoping Jerry Yagen and EAA come to some agreement re the Mossie and Me262 'cos I'd love to see both of them airborne over Wittman Field.
Also does anyone have any advice for a first time attendee from NZ?? I'm going to be there all week, probably camping at this stage (although I have a reservation at Uni of Wisconsin). Have heard that you get a better "overall experience" staying at Camp Scholler... opinions?? I've heard that there are usually unofficial groups camping together and that a few Kiwis & Aussies join a larger South African group??
And on the larger trip, I've got 4 days in LA on the way back and have rented a Mustang convertable - well you've got to really don't you?? Plannning on visiting some aviation attractions on the way home... thought about Planes of Fame (Chino), maybe Van Nuys for a local flight, Palm Springs (don't really know why??), then USS Midway Museum down in San Diego... any other suggestions??
