Was not able to make it this year as we had a new baby girl on friday.
Any new light sport planes, news, rumors or?
How was the LSA mall display?
Was the Tecnam P2008 there?
How about the TL3000 Sirius?

Not a good year for acft campers. Oshkosh had so much rain prior to the show that most of the acft camping was closed, many people had to divert to FLD. Not much new on LSA. Even though the Euro is down, no reductions on the prices. This will be my last visit to OSH. On my first trip to OSH in 1988 you showed your EAA card at the gate and walked in. Prices were reasonable on everything. Now it is just a big money making event and you spend a fortune while there. If LSA is your thing, the Sport Expo in Florida would be a better choice. |

| Second the choice of sebring over osh for lsa.I was at osh after being charged a fee to park the car and having to walk 2 miles to get in I was not very happy.The lsa mall was not complete on Monday.The tecnam lineup was there including the P2008. Ct had a great display as usual ,the sales people where not very attentive however.Jabiru had a nice display as well as tecnam.Overall you could see a great variety of lsas if you did a little walking.I always enjoy sebring for lsas.They havn't gone to purging all your money.Just a thought |

| Never been to Oshkosh, but comparing Sebring to even Sun'n'Fun, and Sebring is going to win hands down. It seems to me that at the bigger shows, manufactures only want to talk to the people who have the cash to spend right now on the airplane. I go to Sebring, and even as a college student with no means to buy an airplane, I can talk to the sales people, learn about their company, and generally just talk about their airplane with them. Its a much more enjoyable experience, in my opinion. |
