The millions go to the promoters. Blame the people who expect 'someone else to do it". It is part of the 'business'. Just curious... how many owners of flying KR's attend the gathering each year; seems to get smaller each year. We know who the dedicated builders are, they show up every year and sing the sanding song. I'm not even close to there yet; [old wanna be].
I am close enough to go to Oshkosh every year, but I am getting frustrated as well... if I need a carnival I can go to Chocolate Fest.

A builder who won best auto engine award pondered why those who fly in to support the "FLY IN" have to also pay for the privilege. I only attended Sun n Fun once due to distance but noticed extreme commercialism with daily attendance fees, food, booth fees, etc. I heard Airventure was even worse ..... making me wonder where does all these excess millions $$ go? ?

One possible reason you might conclude is that you can buy a KR project or even an entire plane for what one spends to change options --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
