All the World

One of the things I'm continually thankful for (and delighted by) is how international this forum is. We trade photos, ideas, models, and personal stories with modelers from all over the globe. As one who grew up before the age of the Internet, I am still amazed and excited by the breadth of this community. Thanks to you all.

Every once in awhile I see someone post an apology for struggling with English. Here, there are no apologies needed among friends.

Cheers,
--David

P.S.: If any of you ever come to OSHKOSH! (Mardi Gras, Carnivale, Oz, and Wonderland of General Aviation) rattle my cage. I'm only 20 minutes away.

Amen to that, David. It's awesome to see what people come up with. I'm in the USA on the east coast, and I get to see what so-and-so is doing over in Timbuktu. That's awesome.

Muchas gracias!
Este es un sitio genial. Llevo muy poco tiempo aquí, pero de verdad que uno se siente como en casa.

He aprendido y obtenido mucho de aquí. Espero retribuir de la misma manera cuando me necesiten.

Un cordial abrazo desde suramérica

This is agreat place. I've been here for a very little time, but it already feels like home.

I've learned a lot and I've got a lot from here. I hope I can give something in return when you need of me.

A big hug from Southamerica.

Agreed! in fact, we could sometimes be a little more tolerant of the language barrier...but in the end, the diversity is definitely a asset.

To visit OshKosh...b'gosh, would be a dream one day!
Be careful when you put out those invitations...I just might show up!
And then the neighbours will have to get involved, and then the Police,
and soon the Paramedics, and then the Feds...

No worries, Dave. You'll fit right in.

Seriously, navigating OSHKOSH! can be a challenge, starting with housing. Every hotel room within 75 miles is booked. I can help there; I have friends who rent rooms but don't advertise them and, if all else fails, you can pitch a tent in my back yard.

Any Wing Nut worth his or her salt has to visit OSHKOSH! at least once!
