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;

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.
