Mr. Anderson,
    As a dedicated alternative engine fan (two V-8's in Steen SkyBolts=20=

and presently working on my 3rd) I have tried for several years to get=20=

the EAA to add "alternative engine user" to their computer search=20
criteria at Oshkosh to no avail. I spend many hours walking flight=20
lines each year looking for auto engine conversions only to return home=20=

and see several featured in Sport Aviation magazine that I never found.=20=

It is probably to late this year but maybe you could suggest it for=20
next year. This years plan is, in a couple weeks, to post a request of=20=

all list members who are flying to Oshkosh to to list their "N" numbers=20=

as the EAA will search for these.
    Thank you for your time,
      Randy
