[ercoupe-flyin] Ercoupe Nationals and Oshkosh awards

[Syd Cohen]

Hi gang,

I'm back from Oshkosh, and just learned about Jim Brennan's mishap.  Too 
bad.  Hope things are all right with him.

We had 37 Ercoupes fly from Wausau to Oshkosh, in a long gaggle, and had 
a lot of compliments from the control tower folks about how beautiful 
our landings looked.  4 other Coupes were already on the field when we 
landed, and at least 4 more came in during the week, making the total 
Ercoupe number at least 45, which, I'm sure, is a new record for 
AirVenture.  At the Awards Ceremony Saturday night, it was announced 
that the Outstanding Ercoupe Award went to Ward Marsh, Dixon, CA, 1946 
Ercoupe 415-CD, NC93337.

53 Ercoupes were registered at the Ercoupe Nationals in Wausau.  A few 
came in and didn't register.  We had lots of fun activities.  More on 
this later.
