Thanks for the update , Jim. Owen and I are still planning for a Sunday arrival . Now that we have some friends taking some campgear , we can probably park in the homebuilt show plane area , at least.
Will try for the autoengine conversion area if possible . See you at OSH BTW: When is the beer and brats night , Dana ?
