Good Morning Oshkosh Wisconsin!!!

Krause for helping to get the word out about YAY! PLANES.

AirVenture Day #2 - It's Great!

So the day begins with a hearty breakfast at my host's house. Good
coffee great eggs. Ready for the day.
I hit up the Media HQ at the convention and stake my claim for the
YAY! PLANES digital press kits among everyone vying for attention on
the tables there. Alright, we're all squared away now.
I head off to recruit some willing vendors to carry the YAY! PLANES
postcard on the tables in their respective booths. Lo and behold, the
great people at TrickAir say yes. They make retrofit, easy on and off
skis for planes. That looks like fun landing on snow! Trickair.com
Other additions to the growing YAY! PLANES support structure are the
fine folks at Scion Aviation scionaviation.com, DataToys.com digital
video systems, Jetpark Daytona jetparkdaytona.com , and B&S Aircraft
Parts and Accessories bsaircraft.com
Best of all, I will be interviewed tomorrow morning by Bob Burnall on
WOSH 1490 AM here in Oshkosh! They stream the feed to the web, so do a
search for WOSH and listen in at 7:50 am Central time.
I also got to learn more about mytransponder.com from its founder, Rod
Rakic. We grabbed lunch today at Ace's Cafe.
Whew. What a day.

With fireflies glowing lakeside. Signing off from Oshkosh.

Oshkosh Day #1 - A Successful Start

Well, It sure is big! Nothing could have prepared me for the sheer
size of this place. It puts into perspective just how important the
Experimental Aviation Association is to the longevity of aviation.
Without the EAA I don't know what would happen. After seeing it with
my own eyes, it's like if the Red Cross suddenly didn't have blood.
The EAA is that important.
I hope that the word is getting out about YAY! PLANES because I have
talked to a bunch of people today that were wholly encouraging.
The folks at the EAA Media HQ were really helpful and our Digital
Press Kits are to be had there. I met some great people with Aero-News
Network that were very supportive, and we may get some coverage with
them (fingers crossed).
Additionally, I was invited by a real enthusiastic guy to participate
in a forum about social networking amongst the aviation community. He
runs a blog called jetwhine.com (www.jetwhine.com) and is a huge
proponent of encouraging the aviation community to keep talking about
what keeps us fired up about planes.
Moreover, he introduced a guy named Rod Rakic who is starting a
full-bore social networking site for aviation enthusiasts, called
mytransponder.com (http://www.mytransponder.com). I know that they're
beta testing right now but it looks to be a great effort.

Day one is done! Time for some shut eye.

Good evening from the windy city!
This is one tired person writing here. Last night the final polish was
put on all of the materials for YAY! PLANES media debut at AirVenture.
Flew out to Chicago this morning after an early sendoff by the lovely
Robyn.
This afternoon, YAY! PLANES was introduced to the proprietor of a
lovely baby and kids store in my good friends Josh and Stephanie's
neighborhood called "Bullfrogs and Butterflies".
You can check out their store at:
http://www.bullfrogsandbutterfliesshop.com

Looking forward to a good drive up to Oshkosh and my first day at the show.

YAY!
