  Not me again this year Wayne. Hate to miss this one, the 50th anniversary of the convention being in Oshkosh. I read somewhere that all residents of Oshkosh are invited to attend for FREE on Monday! Mike Collins from Apollo 11 is supposed to be there, Burt Rutan, The D-Day Invasion squadron of C-47s and DC-3s, lots of neat stuff to see. I still haven't been able to accumulate enough time off, but working towards next year. I need to get some work done on my knees to see if I could stand it for four or five days like I used to. I hope to have the initial doctors appointment next month to see what's going on. I just like flying models there on the site in the evening so much. Quite fun and I like talking to the people that stop by on their way back to their cars. I  d o hope to make at least one more trip sometime.

     Same with me Wayne.  Still “out of town”.   99 days left though.  Planning to be there next year.

 The Twin Mustang has already arrived, kinda the main attraction for me this year. Been following that project closely for the past few years, can't wait to get a close-up look at another ultra rare piece of aviation history. Thanks go to Tom Reilly for his incredible efforts in making it happen.

 It's gonna seem a little weird without a McEntee on the grounds this year, the kids are sure going to miss Sean at Kidventure!

 Hope all is well out there Sean, take care!  H^^
