EAA AirVenture 2001
LOEHLE FLIGHT TO OSHKOSH 2001
Mike Loehle has always wanted to FLY to Oshkosh instead of having to trailer the planes along with tents, chairs, TV, etc., to set up a booth. He is finally getting his wish----he'll be flying the factory P-40 Flying Tiger to "Mecca" this year. Joining him in the first Loehle Squadron Flight to Oshkosh this year is Larry Mullins (Fayetteville, TN) in his gorgeous "5151" Mustang and Jim Young (Gainesboro, TN) is his very unique "5151" modified to look like a ME-109/FW-190 spoof in a winter camo paint scheme.
These aircraft will be parked at the Replica Fighter Association area (just south of the Warbirds). Be sure to come by and chat about their adventure trip, and check out the airplanes. The P-40 has been on display at Oshkosh before, but this will be the first time for Larry's and Jim's fine craftsmanship. These are a MUST SEE!
While you're there, see Mike Loehle to place your order for your own replica warbird, classic Sport Parasol or barnstorming Jenny...all kits are on sale for the show. You can save $1,000 on either the "5151" or P-40 or $500 on the Spad XIII, Fokker D-VII, SE5a, Jenny or Sport Parasol. (If you don't get to talk with Mike, call Sandy at the factory 931-857-3419.) Sale ends July 30, 2001.
