 Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2010 9:53 pm Post subject: 2011 the year of the Zenith |
 |
|
Friends and fellow builders,
I started this discussion on the Zenith Aircraft builders and flyers blog.
Below is a copy of the post. I would appreciate it if I could get some input
from everyone on this subject. I would love to see the 2011 EAA Convention
in Oshkosh become the year of the Zenith!
------
Hope you all came home safely from Oshkosh! Another great year and once
again, there are no other kits on the field I would rather build than a
Zenith! Once again, by looking at the grass around the Zenith site in
Oshkosh, the grass won't be growing there for a while!
The Zenith tent had what I feel was an incredible turnout of walking traffic
all week!
With that said, I'm wondering where all the Zenith airplanes are during
Oshkosh? I have an idea I would like to share with the group and please take
the time to write a comment to this discussion so I can get an idea where I
should go from here.
I'm lucky enough to say I live just a few blocks from the Oshkosh airfield!
I plan to have my 601 XL on the field next year, and I have an idea that I
passed on to Sebastian - and he gave me his blessing.
I'm looking to see if there is enough interest among the builders to make
Oshkosh 2011 the year of the Zenith! Seeing that I live in Oshkosh, I know
almost everyone in management at the EAA, I work with the Oshkosh media, I
know where all the great eating and catering places are in Oshkosh, I would
like to volunteer to put a program together to make 2011 our year at EAA.
I can imagine many things, but I would like to get a discussion going to see
what you would like to see Zenith do in Oshkosh. It's easy to get a plot of
parking spaces similar to the RV parking near the homebuilt kit display. Is
there 25 or more aircraft we could count on to come to Oshkosh? If the
answer is yes, we can all park together on the field. I can set up group
accommodations at the university, or group camping on the field, or group
camping where we park the planes. Let's get Chris to Oshkosh and honor him
with the recognition he deserves. Would you like to build a kit on the
field? Group cookouts? Maybe a larger place to meet for dinner just for
2011? Any or all of the above things would be covered with major press
releases.
Not only would we all have a blast, but it would solidify the Zenith brand
and make the company stronger in the eyes of EAA members and the press.
So I guess to start the discussion, do you think we could get a minimum of
25 Zenith aircraft to attend Oshkosh 2011? We have 3 here already. Then
after the initial commitment, we can work on housing, etc.
So what do you think? Please give me your opinion.
Joe in Oshkosh

Hi Carl,
Thanks for your reply. I am consulting this week with EAA to find out what
it will take to get a plot of land on the airport to park 50 Zenith planes.
I want to work on this early so we can get the best spot on the field. We
have a lot of interest right now and I would love to see your plane at
Oshkosh 2011. The year of the Zenith! I will contact everyone with the
meeting results as soon as I meet with EAA.
