Would you attend a Sonex open house this summer?

As with everything in my life, it is work dependent. So I’ll say definitely if I’m not scheduled to work.
Here’s Hoping the date works!

Yes, I would plan to attend an Open House if the Sonex factory offered it. I agree with Jeff and Mike, perhaps a little later than later July.

I'd go, especially if it's later in the summer or early fall. Hopefully fly my T-Craft, wx permitting. Like Bill, I'm retired so scheduling is not a problem!

If the homecoming was it late september I would come. Airventure is always during my busiest time of the season.

[Matt541]

I would love to attend with 541.

I'll echo what others are saying in that late summer or early fall would be better. And on a weekend. My company is having us take the majority of our vacation time now while it's slow as they're anticipating a busy Q3 and Q4.

I would be excited to fly in N416SX!

[dtwolcott]

Yes I would love to attend if the date works with my other plans for the summer

A reason to NOT have it during the cancelled AirVenture week:

Wittman Regional Airport
AIRPORT STATUS DUE TO CANCELLATION OF 2020 EAA AIRVENTURE

We’re all disappointed with the cancellation of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2020, as it means so many different things for everyone who attends. For thousands of aviators, flying to Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH) is a highlight in the logbook.

As AirVenture 2020 is not taking place, Wittman Regional Airport will operate normally as a public use airport with contract tower services. For those considering flying to Oshkosh in late July, it’s important to manage expectations about what is permissible:

Aircraft parking for itinerant traffic is available on the Terminal / Basler FBO Ramp. No permit has been obtained for aircraft parking or camping on any turf areas of the airfield and therefore is not permitted.

No buildings or facilities on the AirVenture grounds will be open. Those attempting to camp will be asked to move to Terminal / Basler FBO ramp parking or depart.

The Warbird / Homebuilt camping areas near P-1 taxiway will not be open. Papa 2 taxiway (Boeing Plaza) will not be accessible.

There will be no access to EAA facilities from the airport. EAA did not obtain a Wisconsin temporary campground permit for Camp Scholler in 2020, so it is illegal to accept or allow campers there this year. The EAA Aviation Museum also will be closed to the public through July.

For those who still want to fly to Oshkosh during AirVenture week, we encourage you to park at the Terminal / Basler FBO ramp, stay at one of our local hotels, and enjoy some of Oshkosh’s hospitality. Please coordinate with Basler Flight Service to arrange any ground handling needs.

From reading what was published, I would say that, except for the possibility of camping in the airport grounds, all the operation will be standard, so landing and parking is possible, and stay at the hotel.

I would make an effort to attend. The more activities there are for new builders, the more likeky i would go. M
