75th Reunion Celebration group parking at Airventure 2023

Post by DaveF »

The Vintage Aircraft Association and The International Cessna 170 Association present the 75th Anniversary Reunion Celebration of our favorite airplane, the Cessna 170! To help celebrate, VAA has arranged for a reserved group parking and camping area at AirVenture 2023 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. AirVenture 2023 runs Monday, July 24, 2023, through Sunday, July 30, 2023.

There will be space for at least 100 170s to park together, so we can meet, greet, mingle, and talk 170s all week. If you attended any of the previous 170 group camping gatherings, you know it's a great time. All together and close-in to the AirVenture action.

Many details are still to be worked out, but mark your 2023 calendars now. Plan to arrive early, because spaces in the reserved area will be for 170s exclusively only through Sunday evening, July 23, 2023. After that, EAA will begin parking other aircraft among us and you may not be able to get a spot.

RSVP to Dave Finamore via forum private message, forum email contact, or email Cessna170Bravo at gmail.com with the following information:
  • Name
    Aircraft reg (N, C-, etc.)
    Aircraft model and year
    Phone
    email
    Home town or base
    Association forum name
There is no cost for attending beyond the AirVenture camping and show/flightline admission charges.

It's not too early to get excited about this!

Dave

With 32 airplanes signed up already, we're well on our way to making this the best attended 170 group parking/camping event yet.

If you contacted me to register and I did not acknowledge, please let me know by any of the email options listed in the initial post.

Thks Dan, for the info on the shirts. I like the graphics but wish the graphics were on the back of the shirt with maybe an EAA logo on the front.
