The Falco is 55 this year, and we will be having our usual Falco birthday party at Oshkosh.

Susan Arruda, Jack Amos and I will be making our headquarters at the Radison Paper Valley Hotel, 333 West College Ave, Appleton. (920) 733-8000 We will be arriving Wednesday July 28 and leaving Friday.

Instead of a Falco Builder Dinner, we are simply going to descend on two favorite Appleton restaurants. These will be

Wednesday, July 28, 6:30
Dick and Joan's 2200 Club (aka "Road Kill Inn")
2200 N. Lyndale Dr.
Appleton, WI
(920) 731-8855

Thursday, July 29, 6:30
Victoria's Italian Cuisine
503 W. College Ave
Appleton, WI
(920) 730-9595

If anyone wants to promote a get-together on other evenings or at the air show, please let me know, and I'll put the information here.

Aircraft Parking

We will be happy to park the Falcos. We will do our best park them together. We probably will have to tail them in together. My crew has done a great job parking types together. We will try to park the Falcos on the south end of Homebuilt parking north of the Air Venture race planes. Happy flying.

Thanks to Cyrus Pardiwala for the inspiration, which began as "Just 55? Diamonds are forever" but since there's an airplane named the Diamond, we've gone with Falcos are forever.
