RED STAR PILOTS !!!
Oshkosh is 2 months away !!
The events section of the web site is down so I am emailing details
to the Yak-list. Spread the news. Whoever does the e-comms may copy
and also put in the news letter.
Oshkosh Airventure starts Monday 7-24 and runs until Sunday 7-30
http://www.airventure.org/
Red Stars will gather at Manitowoc starting the weekend before -
Friday 7-21, Saturday 7-22, Sunday 7-23.
We will base out of the EAA hanger at MTW. They have allowed us to
use it for the last few years and have invited us back again.
They will host a cookout for us on Saturday 7-22 at 6PM - try to
arrive by Saturday evening.
Jim "Pappy" Goolsby will be leading the mass formation practice out
of MTW.
Russ Dycus will be airboss at MTW. He always does a great job of
keeping flights in the air. He will be putting more 2 and 4 ship
flights this year in addition to the mass formation prep for the
airshows at OSH.
During the week we will depart MTW and recover in OSH for the warbird
briefings then fly in the warbird portion of the airshow. I have
heard we will not be the high altiitude fliers we have been in the
past. The larger our numbers grow and the quality formation work we
do will help to get lower altitudes for the airshow.
Some guys will recover at OSH - some will recover at MTW.
We will have a RV and a tent in the warbird flightline area again
this year to gather, get some shade and a cool drink. Look for the
banners.
Even if you do not plan on flying in the mass formation - come hang out.
Bill Mills is the new NorthCentral director - he will be helping out
on the ground at OSH.
AEROBATICS BOX -
The waiver application is into the FAA. I have a verbal OK from them
as the application is unchanged from last year. The box will be over
the field at MTW and can be activated with phone call anytime between
7AM and 9PM local time. Bring your altitude waivers (ACE card) and
have fun!!
SERGEI BORIAK -
Sergei will be available to fly with anyone during the week. We need
6 pilots to make it worthwhile to bring him in. I already have 4.
We have enough time for about 12 flights with him. Cost will vary
depending on how many people want to fly with him. Last year it was
about $200 per flight. It is worth it. I have flown with him
several times. You will have fun and learn more in that hour than
you can imagine. He will suit the flight to your needs - easy
beginner stuff like loops and rolls - to inverted spins, lomchavaks,
etc. If we have more people sign up then the cost goes down per flight.

Modglin. It will be at a nice place in Manitowoc - The Courthouse

COST
I am trying to get a sponsor to contribute to the cost this year.
Even if we do not have a sponsor the cost will be minimal. 30$ a
head should cover the dinner Saturday night, use of the EAA hanger
for the week, they keep the fridge stocked with water, soda and beer
for the week. I will keep the tent at OSH stocked with water, beer
and sodas for the week. The RV is donated and those who fly with
Sergei will pay him. No Tshirts this year as that ran up the cost
last year. If we get a sponsor the cost will go down
NOTAM
Runway 17-35 at MTW will be closed for resurfacing. This will not
affect the ramp, taxiways or runway 7-25. Pappy is aware and the
alternatives are limited. Should not be a problem.
SINCE THE EVENTS SECTION IS DOWN - SEND ME AN EMAIL TO LET ME KNOW
YOU ARE COMING !!
INCLUDE:
Pilot ----
GIB ----
N# -----
Type ----
Wing / Lead / None
Arrival date ----
Sergei - Yes / No ?
Preferred Oil ---
DON'T FORGET -
FAA is at OSH and there are special requirements to fly in the airshow.
Bring the necessary documents !!!
Looking forward to seeing you there -

Any thoughts about those of us planning to stay at OSH all week? Staying on the field at Sun-n-Fun was a blast, and did not go unnoticed by the warbird community.
