Oshkosh '09

Long anticipated, and finally here, Remos has unveiled their watercraft. The Remos GX is now available with a strait float option, or a four wheel amphibious option. Cheryl and I weren't able to attend Airventure this year due to some family commitments, but never fear, Dave is there, and we're getting reports by the hour. These are exclusive pictures taken the first day of the show, and as far as I know, we are the first to post these new options. By all accounts, the Remos display is by far the nicest of any LSA manufacturer, and reportedly in the top five of all exhibitors. I take great comfort in this, given the weak economy. Remos, it's investors, and customers, are here to stay. If you're fortunate enough to be at Oshkosh, please look up "Doc" Williams, and Bill or Carol Joyner. Give them a hug for us. You'll find them at either the LSA Mall, or the Remos (EAA) Learn to Fly Center. These are Remos owners, that have become very good friends of ours. They aren't employees, yet they spend their week at Oshkosh working the crowds, and just talking about their airplanes. Doc, Bill, and Carol, I think best represent the entire LSA movement. People who love to fly their airplane. Yes, I miss the aerial exhibitions, and shopping the new toys. I miss talking about the Remos, and getting the chance to chat with the Germans. I even miss being so worn out from the days activities that the best dinner we can muster is the McDonald's drive-thru; but mostly, I miss the great friends we look so forward to seeing at airshows. Doc, Bill, Carol, have a great time, I know you will. We'll see you next time.
