Phil Kriley Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm at work - wish I were going to OSH this year, but am passing so I can put money and time into the plane. We plan to go next year, though. Quote Phil Kriley Cozy #1460 Chapter 13 - nose Right wing done - working on right winglet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBarber Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Yeah, I have been planning to go again when my plane is finished and can be used to fly up there and back. So, I have been "going" next year for years now. <sigh> All the best, Chris Quote Christopher Barber Velocity SE/FG w/yoke. Zoom, zoom, zoom. www.LoneStarVelocity.com Live with Passion...

argoldman Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm going up Thursday. Chris, I would suggest, if possible that you get there Thursday earlier. There is a Cozy bar-b-q at Mark Beduhn's hanger on the field at 4:00 P.M.. Quote I Canardly contain myself! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbiter Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hey guys, It was just odd to me that virtually no one seemed to post all day . Glad to see so many posts and I am excited for Oshkosh! Hopefully I'll run into some of you... Take care! -Chris Quote Chris Zupp ~Aircraft Designer~ Preliminary Design Sequence I: Project Endeavour Aeronautical/Mechanical Engineer Private Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmeddz Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I personally am wondering why the Poberezny family needs so much of my money when I go to these events... Poppa Paul gets to fly that p-51 around all day and I never got offered a ride even though I paid for one several times over all these years. Just sayin'...

TMann Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I never got offered a ride even though I paid for one several times over all these years. You paid for a ride and didn't get one? I would contact your credit card company and have them run a chargeback. For myself, I've always gotten exactly what I paid for from the EAA.

I can just see you cryin and pitchn' a fit in the grocery store aisle when this thought occured to you. Are you fixin' to file a formal complaint? Or just trying to be cute, and see if others wanna moan like you do? Events like this cost a ton of dough, and it's their major fund raiser. If EAA wasnt around to save our collective flyin' bacon along with AOPA, we'd be already enjoying EU modeled incredible user fees. Then you wouldnt be flying as much or at all, and you'd REALLY have something to clench you teeth about. No more crocodile tears. You OWN an airplane for cryin-out-loud...how manty people can claim that great privilege? Let Poppa P show off the P51, you have a much cooler aircraft you are flying. Quote Self confessed Wingnut.

Drew Swenson Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 You OWN an airplane for cryin-out-loud...how manty people can claim that great privilege? I agree---but to sort of change the subject---it is kind of funny how people automatically assume that you must be rich if you own a plane. I know people from just about all walks of life who own a plane. On the poorer end, they just made sacrifices to make it happen. But when it comes to the tax man---user fees---and whatever else they want to pile on----they assume we are all rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMann Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 ----they assume we are all rich.And they would be correct ......... just not in a monetary sense.

Kraig Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 And they would be correct ......... just not in a monetary sense. Amen to you TMann, my thoughts exactly. I don't have much money, but I am better off than most. I am building a cool plane, I know how to scuba dive, I ride both on and off road motorcycles, I have owned my own business for over 16 years, I have a beautiful wife and great kids.........Pretty wealthy ideed I would say!!! I have heard the saying: "People think I am rich because I own an airplane, truth is I am poor because I own an airplane." This is one of the many reasons I am building one.

schmeddz Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I can just see you cryin and pitchn' a fit in the grocery store aisle when this thought occured to you. I'm the kid rolling on the floor by the candy aisle, when I don't get my gummy bears! *****ing and moaning!! Sometimes the difference between going to Okosh/SNF or just staying home is the price of the tickets. I have spent less on Disneyland and they actually have paid their 'volunteers' to be there to give service to me and mine. Not nearly as fun though and the mouse ears make me look stupid. Been poor, been doing good. Sometimes I get the gummy bears... sometimes I get to fly! Yes, I own TWO airplanes and it makes me MORE awesome, and WAY cooler than everyone else! Kinda dangerous to think that way perhaps? My ma still thinks I'm insane and will end up in a smoking crater. Maybe, at Least I won't hear her say "I told you SO!"
