REFLECTOR: Operation Glassovercast

[Jack Sheehan]

So far we have 7 Velocitys  signed up to make the flight. You can 
look at frank's site http://glassovercast.com and check the 
registration to see who is coming.
All of the details are being worked on to fly from Madison to Oshkosh

>To All:
>
>I've been asked to pass on this info to the Velocity community.
>
>As you know, Burt Rutan will be bringing White Knight and Spaceship 
>One to Airventure 2005.  It is also the 30th anniversary of the 
>flight of the Vari-EZ prototype to Oshkosh, thus making a theme of 
>30 years, Oshkosh to Space and Back.  To pay tribute to Burt and his 
>works, Eric Whyte, organizer of the Airventure Cup Race, has been 
>tapped to organize a mass arrival of canards, both Rutan designs AND 
>all derivatives such as Cozy, Berkut ... and VELOCITY.
>
>Eric and crew have been coordinating with the FAA and EAA Flight 
>Operations and they have given us a most unique time slot, 3:00pm on 
>Monday, July 25th -opening day, the opening act of the airshow. The 
>Glassovercast aircraft will arrive just prior to SpaceShipOne/White 
>Knight. So it will be a tribute to Burt and Mike etc. in the way 
>that only the builders and pilots of these types can that the 
>general public cannot-with representatives of his early career 
>leading his most recent success into Oshkosh. The goal is to remind 
>people that Burt got his start like many at Oshkosh, building his 
>own airplane.
>
>Details are still forthcoming and will be posted on Frank Pullano's 
>site:  http://glassovercast.com/
>
>The basic plan is to gather at an airport south of OSH and fly in to 
>OSH in trail much like the Airventure Cup Racers did last year from 
>Fond Du Lac. 
>
>Since the event is on Monday, it should still be possible to fly 
>BOTH in the Race and the mass arrival.  There may also be 
>preferential parking right in front of Aeroshell Square for canards, 
>although I haven't heard that confirmed yet.
>
>This sounds like a unique experience not to mention a lot of fun! 
>I'll pass on more info as I get it.
