John,
I hope you know that I will always remember and cherish your
hard work, your dedication and skills, plus your service and unselfishness
to committed and potential builders alike. From my personal experience at
Oshkosh and following, I know you will be successful and productive in any
circumstance. Naturally, I am selfish enough to want Europa to rise back to
prominence but know that it will be to your and your associates' own past
accomplishments that make it so.
Let us know what we may do......... and Godspeed.

| 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
|
| http://www.airventure.org/2004/images/grounds_map_toplft.jpg
|
| 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
