Gentlemen,

 <= /p>

This just in from Jeannie= Schneider, the homebuilt parking area manager at AirVenture:

 <= /p>

The homebuilt parking are= a on the west side of the long north/south taxiway will be reduced this yea= r because of the set-back requirements for the Thunderbird airshow. Jeannie advises that her team will designate and try to hold an a= rea off taxiway P1 for Lancairs. This is just to the north and west = of the area we’ve traditionally used. (For those who have been there = before, the east end of taxiway P1 is where Lancair and other companies sta= ged demo flights in past years. No guarantee of a parking place in our “designated area,” depending on when= you arrive, but they will do their best. See advice below if they are send= ing you elsewhere after arrival…

 <= /p>

There is a large paved pa= d at the west end of taxiway P1. It doesn’t have room for all of the Lancairs after she parks the EVOs and other l= arger aircraft that need to park on a hard surface. I suggest we ask Jeanni= e to put the EVOs on the pavement and the rest of us off the pavement in th= e immediate vicinity. Your feedback on this area appreciated ASAP. I also suggest you shut down on the hard su= rface, or immediately after pulling in the grass if required, and let us pu= sh you where you need to go. Not only does it take a lot of power to taxi i= n the grass--more if in the mud!!--but the chance of a prop strike is just not worth it.

 <= /p>

Jeannie suggests that you= make a sign that says “HBP LANCAIRS” instead of the standard &= #8220;HBP,” for display after clearing the runway. Also, signs made w= ith a pencil on brown cardboard just don’t cut it…make the lettering= as large as possible, black letters on white paper… Another suggesti= on from yours truly--if you’re not being directed to where you want t= o go, follow the flagmen/flagwomen anyway--to wherever they want to take you. Shut down and then advise Jeann= ie’s crew where you really want to go. They will get you there! Verba= lly negotiating a taxi route from the cockpit of a running Lancair works ab= out as well as the hand-lettered cardboard signs…just saying…

 <= /p>

Some other points: read t= he AirVenture Oshkosh NOTAM, and bring a copy al= ong in the airplane if you’re planning to fly in. A good, qualified o= bserver is really handy to have, especially if you encounter one of those a= viators who decides at the last minute to fly over and check out the activity at Whitman Field, but didn’t bot= her to read the NOTAM--“what NOTAM…” According to the con= trollers, they get 2-3 of these PER DAY during AirVenture. These fellows tend to scatter the= otherwise orderly arrival flow all over Wisconsin in a dis-orderly fashion= . Also consider using the “Warbird Arri= val” and keep the speed up. Be prepared/plan to be diverted or put in holding…for an extended period if there is = an accident.

 <= /p>

And to repeat, do your be= st to comply with the air and ground controllers’ instructions. It= 217;s easy to fly over from Appleton after the dust settles-literally, or to taxi to the desired parking area…unless you land at the seapla= ne base.

 <= /p>

Judy and I look forward t= o seeing you there! If you’ll send me your name(s), tail number and a= rrival date, I’ll post a consolidated list to the LML and pass it to Jeannie.  She’s p= romised to take care of all Lancairs who let her know they are coming-esp= ecially those who bring tribute!  J
