As guestsof the local airport, they set the dates etc. and we get to enjoy. Ifeverything is the same as past years the Brodhead event will occur FromFriday July 30, 199 Thru Sunday August 1, 1999 (The BIG day isSaturday). Of course with the special honors being extended by the EAAfor the 70th celebration, who knows. There are generally a few Pietsthat fly from Brodhead to Oshkosh on Sunday to catch the end of theconvention. Maybe Sunday will be the best day to launch a mass group toOSH - Does anyone know more details about the special OSH event?LarryAviation is proof, that given the will, we have the capacity to achievethe impossible.________________________________________________________________________________
