Greetings from Oshkosh Day One,
 
Plans are being finalized for the Northern California Napa/Nut Tree fly in (KVCB) for the weekend of October 17-19.  HPAT will be offering insurance approved flight training (initial and recurrent) throughout the weekend with ground school beginning Saturday the 18th at 0830.  To register online go to www.hp-at.com and click on register now on the bottom of the main page.
 
Social activities include dinner at the Gainzas on Saturday night, wine tasting as usual, a huge outlet mall across from the airport, an ice-rink and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for children/grandchildren.  For those interested in a longer vacation, San Francisco is hosting fleet week October 9-14.  It is the most impressive venue for viewing the Blue Angels and the Snowbirds (google: fleetweek San Francisco 2008 for details).
 
Attached is hotel information with special rates. 
 
Ground school is being limited to the first 30 participants, so please register early. 
 
Looking forward to seeing you there. 
 
Craig and Sandy Gainza
