Hi gang, I returned from a nice visit from Sun n Fun and as putting my Thorp shirts away....realized that 2023 is the 60th anniversary of our design. How great would it be to get as many Thorps together for a huge gala celebration. Whether is be a separate event or piggyback it on Oshkosh 2023 would be determined later. I looked at Lee’s Thorp map and there doesn’t seem to be one central location to have a central event.
Or it could be at sun n fun as well. We have 2 years to get some planning figured out.

K82 (http://www.airnav.com/airport/K82) in Smith Center, KS is the closest airport to the geographical center of the lower 48. It's a small town, but I heard what's left of Van Halen plays there every Saturday night. David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar alternate Saturdays and occasionally get together for duets. Also, I wouldn't put 100% faith in the Thorp map. Three owners in Las Vegas/Boulder City aren't listed and one ex-owner is.

K82 has reasonably priced 100LL, just sayin. 8)

It's only 1138 nm and 8:40 of flyin time from Seattle, way shorter than Elizabeth City, NC

A 60th get together sounds great. With two years to clear my schedule you can count me in.
From KSCK it will most likely be heading east.

Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Hagar, duets......I can't decide if that's awesome or just totally wrong, but either way, it sounds like a good show.
