Dan: Count me and John Kerr flying up in my AC on Friday . Leaving on Sunday morning. I have the KVIS FBO gate code (#4268) . The gate is over by the Terminal , by the Comfort Inn . My wife's company fly their King Air and Citation in and out of KVIS . I you need access to the ramp just walk over and type in the code . No card needed . BOOM ! It is a bit of a walk , but it is free ! As the date gets closer I will verify the current code .

We did have the date set for the 13th and the14th, so we can have the gathering a week earlier if there are no objections, all of those planning to come will this be ok or will it get. In the way of other schedules????? You all sing out here now.......Dan

Dan: Early date is OK with me . In fact any date is OK . Some folks may want Cubes there to do Acro instruction ? Not trying to put words in Cubes mouth . Cubes would add to the OSH discussion , along with me , Fraser and Homey . A lot of info to put out regarding OSH...BOOM !

A Discussion on OSH would be great! You do these forums Very well Rich, your last Forum on Servival was very good. Also If someone would give a talk on the 50 yrs of Thorp that would be a good topic being the 50th and all............just an Idea......Dan

I could give a short discussion on OSH . Arrival and departure procedures into the caldron . Cubes might give a quick brief on the outstanding T-18 form flight that he engineered and occurred at the big dance . My use of oxygen brief is still on . The earlier date works (13-14-15th) for me if it works for Tahoe Joe !

Don't jump through hoops for me. My Checkride is that month as well and is not scheduled yet. I asked for the first week, but that may not happen. I should know soon.

Don't worry bout the check ride Cubes, you can do it when you get here, my instructor will do it for you and probably for free, if you like I can go ahead and get it set up. He likes Thorps, let me know and I will get that covered.............Earlier date, free check ride, that's right we would like to have you and yours here..........Dan
