Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2010 8:24 am 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,



     Count me in!  I will be bringing N601T next year (weather permitting).

This should be a great time.  If you would like, I can bring or send you the

"Zenith Gathering" banner that I have used at the Winchester events.

Parking with other Zenith's would be great!  And yes, eating together is

what pilots really do best.
