Tri-Pacer turns 70

[Wag-builder]

Hey everyone,

2021 is going to be a good year! We got the green light for the 2021 convention in Lock Haven, PA starting June 21 running through June 25. This will be a great Convention and if you haven't registered yet, get signed up! Even this is the 70th anniversary of the PA-22, we are also celebrating the PA-20 because we didn't have a convention last year. We want all of the Short Wing Pipers to show up and make this a convention to remember for years to come.

It doesn't stop there, in July we are going to Oshkosh and again we are getting treated very well and want a great turnout! We have been given 50 parking spots all in a group just for our Short Wing Pipers. We will be staging in Baraboo WI (KDLL) prior to our arrival at (KOSH). We will start arriving at KDLL on July 21, brief on Friday evening July 23 and depart for KOSH on the morning of July 24! To make it even better we have reserved the Tall Pines shelter for a Sunday evening get together.

I will up date this when more information is available, but please let me know if you are planning to attend, so I can get a head count for attendance.

Hey all you Pacer, Clipper and Vagabond owners, we would love to see your planes at the convention too. We have a lot of Tri-Pacers registered and some 22/20's, but we also want to see the rest of the Short Wing Pipers, so register and bring them to the convention for everyone to see and appreciate. Come on out and join in the fun and fellowship.

I'll see you there,

Steve

Yes, we are working on it now! If you can attend, we are gathering at KDLL starting on Wednesday July 21, and will brief Friday evening and depart Saturday morning for KOSH. If you are planning to participate, please let me know your "N" number and how many people are in your party. I am putting a spreadsheet together because we only have 50 spots, and I want to make sure everyone gets a place to park. We also have the Tall Pines reserved for Sunday evening for a get together and a catered dinner, so if you want to attend, please let me know that as well.

We will not be flying in a formation, but it will be an ant trail nose to tail into KOSH. We want everyone to have a great time and be safe!

Please either PM me or email me with your information.
Hope to see everyone at Oshkosh!
