Aviation Forum / General / Homebuilt / July 2009America's Only Fly-In Pool Party is 7/25/09 -- You're invited!
We're just a few weeks away from America's only fly-in pool party at our aviation themed hotel, the Alexis Park Inn & Suites! We're located right next to Rwy 25 in Iowa City, IA (KIOW). Here is your official invitation: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/iowa_city_pool_party.htm Heading to OSH from the West? Don't do the FISK approach at the end of a long x-country flight -- instead spend the night with fellow pilots, enjoy a free cookout at poolside, and join us the next morning as we all fly into OSH together! Iowa City is located just 90 minutes SW of Ripon, which means you'll arrive in the world's busiest airspace fresh and (more importantly) with people who have flown the approach many times. Have you studied the NOTAM yet? If so, you'll know that you have to fly up the railroad tracks from Ripon, after falling in trail behind the guy ahead of you. This can be tricky, with planes converging on Ripon from all compass points -- UNLESS you're already on the proper heading. Flying in from Iowa City puts you precisely on the heading required, so no turns are required at Ripon. It is quite literally a "straight shot" from Iowa City to Oshkosh! Most of us camp in the North 40 at OSH, and one huge advantage to flying in together as a group is that we all get parked near one another. You will have the advantage of camping next to folks you already know, which makes the week at OSH even more fun! (Remember, we do a Wednesday night party at our site in the North 40, too, so you'll be close to the beer!) This will be our 27th consecutive Oshkosh Fly In. We've thrown the pool party for seven years (we bought the hotel in 2002, and spent the last seven years converting each suite to a different aviation theme), and it's our way of saying "Thanks!" to the pilot community for another great year! Whether you spend the night, or just make Iowa City a fuel stop on your way to OSH, be sure to join us at the Alexis Park Inn & Suites hotel for burgers, brats, hot dogs, and refreshments -- all served for free!

You're being trolled by someone who is trying to spoof my posts. Some months ago you asked him a question on how energy management could predicted an F-14's behavior. He was posting as "Ari", "Maxwell", "Payton Byrd", and "Little Luke". He couldn't answer so I popped over from where I knew him in alt.comp.freeware to bail him out. He's got really sore because you asked him a difficult question and other posters saw how much he needed help. It was a big loss of face for him. It's childish but now he's trying to get his own back on you and also on me by using his socks. He has many of them. He loves to imagine himself as a pilot so you'll probably see a lot of his socks in future and I imagine you've already seen a lot of them in the past under different names.

Only have 4 cans left from a sampler pack I picked up in the islands from the last trip to visit the in-laws: "Turkey SPAM", "SPAM with Cheese", "Hawaiian Style SPAM" and "70th Anniversary Commemorative SPAM". None of them have the twist keys. They use the same sort of pull tab you see nowdays on a lot of canned foods. I don't think I've seen SPAM with a key opener for more than a decade.

I see a very dedicated aviator inviting fellow aviators to join him for fun and relaxation prior to going on to Oshkosh. It just so happens he owns a hotel (which I want to visit sometime), and provides the opportunity for others to join him. He even provides some amenities for free. Give the guy a break. I find Jay just being a great open fellow. As a side, I am very glad that he has been successful with his hotel. I still remember him asking questions from the group on how he should proceed in building this hotel and his changing careers. It was very interesting. Go for it, Jay and keep it up. Maybe someday we can meet up. SignatureRegards, Ross C-172F 180HP Sold :( KSWI > Go for it, Jay and keep it up. Maybe someday we can meet up. No worries -- we've made it through tornadoes, ice storms, 500-year floods, and the worst economy since the 1930s. We won't let someone like Vaughn put a damper on our enthusiasm for aviation and our fellow aviators! Hope to see you in Iowa some day, Ross...

Notwithstanding that he'd yonks ago commented on me with a suspicion that my origins probably naturally elicit where he comes from - and he wasn't the only either, tbh, I couldn't concur with you more. Jay has hardly been anything but dedicated and genial, not to mention composed in the face of Bertie's persistent tripe. The cove's website containing videos is a treat as well.

Before I left the industry to be a full-time pilot and flight instructor, I was a network and usenet abuse policy administrator for many years. I have been aware of Jay's business and activity for many years. For whatever that's worth, it was up to me to decide what to do with complaints about posts such as Jay's. Here's how my sysadmin team would evaluate this: "Spam" is unsolicited BULK material send to multiple off-topic forums or e-mail addresses. The term does not apply here unless he's spamming to, say, alt.binaries.kittens or ca.politics also. "UCE" is Unsolicited Commercial E-mail but can also be applied to other forums such as usenet. The Rolex spam is UCE, and if Sporty's advertised here it would be as well because they're not active in the forum otherwise. Jay is an active participant of the forum announcing topical activity that happens to have a commercial element. He's not flooding the newsgroup with it, ie, posting excessively. He responds to posts and complaints about it personally. He's using the forum as a bulletin board to announce his activity to his usenet acquaintances and the general community. He's been around here for a long time and is one of the most regular users. As such, he flies right through any reasonable abuse policy criteria. Folks, the respectful use of newsgroups as a marketplace and bulletin board is far more appropriate and vital to the community than flamewars and bickering. As a reader here for over a decade, I'm much more interested in learning about a potential gathering of like-minded subscribers for an airshow than I am in people flaming each other over the validity of the post. Flaming and bickering about the validity of Jay's posts is off-topic. It seems to happen every time he mentions Alexis Park Inn based on the misconception of what constitutes usenet "spam." I would prefer a truce, because I think there are countless more important things to get fired up about. Have a great time at Oshkosh, everybody. Fly safe!

(and let that one yammerer just yammer, doesn't really hurt) The ultimate I might be able to achieve in this life is crossing the Atlantic in my homebuilt, and perhaps continue on the B369 into Russia. And be sure that, if ever I do, from CYFB or so to yours will be easier than from here to there. But if ever it happens, it won't be this year - my pilot's license is the first objective now, and after that I'll see what comes after.
