Default OSH Beer Call

The Vans banquet will be fun, as will the type meetings. However, to round out the Total Oshkosh Experience we need an official VAF beer call. You know, suds, stories, lies, all the usual aviator stuff.

I recommend Monday evening at the SOS Brothers beer tent, right after the airshow. Hoist a few, meet the gang, make plans....and generally kick off a great week.

What say ye?

Unless I'm badly mistaken, the SOS beer tent is under the yellow balloon on Waukau Avenue, a location central to everything:

Darn, sounds like all the good get-togethers are at the beginning of the week. Will there be any informal RV gatherings for those of us who aren't showing up til a little later, say wednesday? I'd love to buy a beer for all the folks who have unknowingly mentored me through their posts on the board.

I'll be landing either Wednesday or Thursday and may spend every evening (save the night airshow) at the SOS tent. I love that place!

I will be camping with the plane for the first time this year. I have already been told this SOS balloon is a great place to go for a cold one.

Count me in, I will already have tested it Sat and Sun.

Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Gee, you're forcing us to chose this over the B.A.D. Speedwagon show. Lemme think about it...

If the party is still going on after 8PM I'll join you. Don't know if Darwin can stay up that late but I'll join the rest of you.
