At the moment we have seven definite Chipmunks. There are a number of 'maybes' and a whole bunch not yet explored.
I have contacted the owner of one of the prototypes G-AKDN which currently lives in Canada. I am sure they would want to come, they have been before, but it is quite a long journey for them, so we will have to see. I am also about to contact George Neal. He was one of the original test pilots. He is now 91 years old and still flying his own Chipmunk. That is the longest ever test flight I have heard of!!
Have you been to Oshkosh before? If you have, you will know that two days is not really long enough. In fact 7 days, every year, is never long enough!
There is no planned mass arrival as most of us are strangers or are coming from different corners of the continent with different agendas. However, once gathered there, I am sure that new friendships will be formed and plans for future trips will evolve.
There is an evening dinner of Moth and Chipmunk pilots, but that is usually on the Thursday (to be confirmed). If you can make it to that, that would be good.
