REFLECTOR: oshkosh

[Jim Agnew]

Hi Dave,

As a long time volunteer at OSH & SNF I would like to know why you don't feel
that SNF treated you with respect.  We are Life members at SNF and they are
going thru a lot of changes and aree becoming more insclusive including AOPA &
EAA.  Remember SNF is not EAA!

As far as shows go this will be the first year that we have been able to
coordinate with MacDill AFB and their AIRFEST will be one day before SNF so you
will have Airfest Apr. 9 & 10 followed by SNF the 12th - 18th.  I believe this
will be a far larger event than OSH.

See - http://public.macdill.amc.af.mil/airfest/
