Hi All,
Thank you all so much for your support! That really means a great deal to
me.
I can tell you that the reserved area is across taxiway P-1 from the warbird
area. It is on the south side of the homebuilt parking area, south of the
North Aircraft Display. It is just northeast of the blue "admission gate
346" on the map at this link

I hope as many of you as possible can fly out. I am very sorry that I can't
be there to assist you with lodging etc... Good news is that there is
camping just south of the parking area.
Also, I do still have a very nice house reserved there, and Europa has paid
the deposit, which is a good portion of the rent. It is on a lake, and has
a boat. If anyone is interested in using it for the fly-in, please let me
know. If a number of you wanted to share the remainder of the rent for the
week ($2,500), it would be very reasonable. I will need one person to
coordinate though. I also need to know ASAP - Monday would be great. So if
you want to take advantage of that - get on the phone now, or post a message
here & see who wants to share!!
Now more than ever the Europa design needs your support, so it would be
wonderful if a number of you could fly-in it to the show.
Happy flying!!
John

<<<<Hello all,
First thank you John for the e-mail letting us U.S. builders know what is
going on. I know that John has been doing an excellent job of mainaining
support here even when he is getting none from the U.K.
By keeping the office open on the weekends at NO PAY I personally think he
is going above and beyond and I hope people who are waiting for parts and
planes realize that the current problems are not Johns fault. Lets be
helpful to him and I am sure he will help us all back.
I personally feel that the failures at Europa now (and this is MY OPINION)
can only be laid at the feet of management. The product is just too good to
go away. The tooling is done the flight testing and hundreds of flying
planes are a testement to the design and engineering. I hope that if the
current management can't get its act together they will consider selling it
to someone who can.
As to the Oskosh plans, there are some changes as Europa will not be there.
This means no factory sponsered get togethers. I will update the europa-usa
website tomorrow to reflect this and keep the list of who is going current.
Send me e-mails if there are changes in your plans.
Thanks for letting me spout.Bob Jacobsen N165BB>>>>>
Hi Bob,
First let me endorse the many comments on the outstanding job which John
Hurst has done in running the US office under difficult circumstances over
the years. He is to be congratulated for a job well done.
Secondly, I would like to confirm that I plan to arrive in N262WF at Oshkosh
on Monday July 26th and will put my plane in the Europa reserved area. I
will be flying in from Columbus, Ohio, where I will be stopping off to visit
grandchildren.
Are there any special details we need to know about the reserved area ?
Cheers, John
