Here is an excerpt from Volume One of "Around the Field: The stories of the people places and planes of the Oshkosh Fly-in". Excerpts from Tuesday July 28 & 29, 1998.
EAA members are at the forefront of developing new aviation technologies. So it should come as no surprise that they've put together some pretty inventive (and sometimes wacky) campsites. Take a walk out there sometime and you'll see canopies of all shapes and sizes, banners, solar hot water heaters, collapsible bikes, TVs, hot tubs, and yes, kitchen sinks.
First time's a charm. Doug Macallister and Lynn Daffron flew to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh '98 from Naples, Florida in their blue, gold & white Bonanza N35. They're regulars at Sun 'n Fun but this is their first time to the Oshkosh fly-in. Lynn's a longtime pilot but Doug's only been flying for three years.
Were they intimidated by the Oshkosh arrival procedure? "No, says Lynn, "it's just like Sun 'n Fun."
"We make a good team," says Doug. "Lynn does the flying and I do the talking."
