Landing training at OSH

[BruceHughes]

Hi Group

I now have a Longeze that is airworthy as far as we can
determine.  It has flown 3 times and probably will fly
tomorrow.  We corrected a couple of minor problems.

Now the problem is me.   I will be at Oshkosh most or all
of the "Airventure" week.  2 friends are taking their C-182. 
I would certainly appreciate any ride that I can get.  I
had some training in landing about 5 - 6 years ago.  The
two pilots that would do that for pay do not do it any more. 
I can pay for gas or whatever is needed.

I also have to do my BFR in August.  Maybe I can do that
at the same time or in someone's C-152, 172, etc.  I
have done a few landings recently in my Ercoupe but do
not really feel current, even in the Ercoupe.  Otherwise
I can do the BFR here in my Ercoupe.

Thank you for any comments and/or referrals.

I've only flown to OSH once, last year. And it was right seat. I can tell you that ANY landing during Airventure is a real adventure. Or, probably NOT the best place to practice touch and go's

I'll be there the full week, if the stars are in alignment, flying right seat in a Cozy from Longmont, CO. Camping under the wing of 9WK in home built. Call or text to: three zero three, 589 - twenty sixty three.

That is a nice way of putting it!
Have fun out there.

Hi Rick

Thanks for the email.   I have flown in once as a passenger.  I also have flown out of OSH to a smaller field nearby.  We did several practice landings there with no problem.   The trouble is:  the guy who was doing that for pay no longer does it.  Due to insurance, I think.   I was not his best student.   Maybe he quit due to me?   Anyway I need the experience; may have to get it here in WA state.

I am a volunteer so am VERY busy; I may see you at the CozyGirrrl's spegetti meal.
