It's never too early to begin your summer flying plans! And 2022 holds 2 special and specific events for you to add to your calendar;
July 25-31 / Oshkosh Air Venture - we're celebrating 50 years since Ken & Stu introduced the KR to the world September 8-11 / the KR Gathering returns to Mount Vernon, Illinois and running in conjunction with the MidWest Light Sport Expo Oshkosh: A group of KRNet members are working with EAA National staff to help recognize the unique qualities and techniques that made the KR method famous (and heavily copied!) Details are yet to be worked out but many years of KRs appearing on the flight line as well, as Mark Langford hosting the KR Forum, make our airplanes "regulars" at Oshkosh. It would be great if we could have a large presence and as many airplanes at Oshkosh as possible. Several people have already committed to attending. It will be great if you can bring YOUR KR too! I'll let somebody else pick up the ball to talk about the Oshkosh effort. KR Gathering: After many years' events at KMVN, Chris Collins the airport manager told Larry Flesner running the Gathering the same weekend as the LSA event would be a good thing. KRs after all ARE pretty small airplanes! We have the opportunity to introduce the KR design to a bunch of new people while we have our regular gathering. Chris plans the KR gang will have access to the features and functions that make Mt. Vernon such a great location, even as another event is taking place. Think great facilities, friendly people, campfires down at the lake, space for camping on location and everything else. You can read about the Gathering on our dedicated web site; http://krgathering.net and the MidWest LSA event; https://www.midwestlsaexpo.com Another word about the Mt. Vernon Gathering. Larry Flesner volunteered to run the apparel concession again. Thanks Larry! You can help Larry by signing up the attend the Gathering AND let us know if you want to buy a ball cap and/ or shirt specially embroidered to commemorate the 50th Year of KR flight. http://krgathering.net/web_pages/kr-registration-form.htm Hoping to see you this summer!
