I am starting to plan a flight from the San Francisco Bay area to AirVenture this summer, with a group of faster aircraft, leaving from Santa Rosa CA. Never having done this before, I have some questions that some of you will be able to answer:  

<![if !supportLists]>·         <![endif]>About how many Zenith CH 701s flew to Oshkosh last year?  

<![if !supportLists]>·         <![endif]>Is there a special parking area where 701s congregate?    

<![if !supportLists]>·         <![endif]>If you ever flew to Oshkosh in a 701 from the West or North West, can you suggest routes and daily travel schedules and are there good places along this route to camp-out or are motels the better option?  

<![if !supportLists]>·         <![endif]>Does the factory offer any amenities to Zenith fly-ins?  

<![if !supportLists]>·         <![endif]>Do any of you 701-ers from the West or NW wish join our flying caravan to Oshkosh?  

Regards,  

Les

I met a fellow from Washington in his 701 (long  flight he said) and also noticed a couple of 801's there. Also a really nice 701  amphib at the float plane harbor.

 If I fly down, I'd be tempted to check the notam  and sneak into the ultralight field, especially as I have a bunch of buddies  that camp in that hayfield across the road.

 From the ultralight field you could show the crowd  some of the  virtues of the 701 and even give a few rides.   

 I flew a J-5 down one time and stopped overnight at  Eau Clair, Wisc.  Nice place.  Also overnighted at Wautoma when I flew  down my Starduster 2.

Hi Les;

             Great  idea. I plan on flying my 701 to Oshkosh when it is finished. Having flown in  there several times id 172's and an Arrow I would recommend that you down load  the notam when it is available and fly in as a regular aircraft. Flying in to  Oshkosh is one of the most memorable thing you will ever do as a pilot. It's a  blast.

I flew to Oshkosh last year from Ohio in my 701 and camped in the

homebuilt camping area. I remember four 701's in homebuilt camping and an

amphib at the seaplane base, also from Ohio. I asked EAA about flying

into the ultralight and was strongly discouraged from doing so, only to

find several huge Aircams parked there. I ended up enjoying the homebult

camping area and was happy I stayed there. I met a lot of fellow builders

and potential builders that came around to look at the 701's and ask

questions.
