 |
|
Good Morning, Redstars!
Last year I did my darndest to gather as many possible Redstar aircraft, pilots and enthusiasts at Wausau, WI (AUW) Downtown Airport the weekend prior to OSH for a formation clinic / warm-up for AirVenture. Seven aircraft showed up. We were tutored by 2 major players in the Redstar community. The results were several hours of informative & valuable ground school, some great group flying, new friends, an airport staff that treated us like royalty, local media coverage and 3 newly-card'ed formation pilots who flew at OSH in the mass formations. Attendees were enthusiastic & complimentary regarding the mini-Warbird Roundup, so we decided right then and there to make it an annual thing. So...PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING US THIS YEAR, JULY 21 - 24 for our 2nd swing at a bigger, better event! John "THUD" Casper was the "glue" for us last year and he has graciously accepted a 2nd opportunity to trade his flight helmet for a Packers Cheese Hat and lead us through our paces, and the awesome airport staff are already busy planning CG-altering meals and AC-cooled meeting space, and will offer fuel discounts and assist w/ overnight accommodations.
These are the type of confidence / camaraderie-building activities that make what we do so endearing to the dedicated members who love to convert gas to thunder as we proudly apply horsepower to the Bernoulli Principle! The beautiful Wausau Downtown Airport is located on the water, next to a mountain - not too hot, not too cold - 1200' elevation w/ 3100' / 5200' asphalt runways, 24 hour fuel and friendly skies far enough WNW of OSH to provide minimally-congested airspace - yet a mere 30 minutes away when you take off for The Big Show! Numerous impressive vintage aircraft are housed there and it is a true-blue, welcoming aviation community and a popular waypoint / stop-off for OSH-bound aviators! AND the EAA AirVenture Cup Race culminates there on the 24th - making AUW/ Wausau, WI the place to be for your own EAA "Christmas Eve!"
Please consider me your contact for this event - and rest assured I will do my best to make it memorable for all!
THANK YOU for your consideration - and SAFE FLYING TO ALL!
