I am writing to you as an individual, and not as a representative of the PRA so please treat this correspondence privately.
I have suggested to the PRA that in the interest of gaining a foothold on the recognition of the organization, that the PRA co-sponsor a tent like the one you used to have at Oshkosh before you pulled the plug due to the cost.
Both organizations together could share the costs associated with this type of event, and it would serve both organizations in the same way.
How much did this event (Airventure) cost to be a part of. This information is to give me an idea of what we would be getting in to if we were to take on this cooperative effort to share the costs.
I am gathering information since we have talked about doing it alone but I figured that the costs would be easier to handle if they were shared by the two organizations. As well as open the door for us both not be involved with Airventure once again.
If this is feasible than I think we could have more meaningful talks with regard to such an idea.

Hi Jim,
I have lots of data and a recommendation to give you.
First of all typical costs:
Space $2800
tent 50X30 $1800
Labor Volunteers $0
Meals 8 days x $45 x 5 people= $1800
Rooms, however you get there 5 people x 8 nights x $45 = $1800
Travel 800 miles x 0.51 = $408
Total $8608
Exposure, minimal. Orgs have nothing to sell, of draw people who are looking at planes..
Now you know why we are not at Oshkosh.
Finally, you cannot sublet space. If any two Orgs share a space they will be charged or ejected.
no simple answer. Sorry.

This is not quite the response I was hoping for but it says it all. If this is what we have to look forward to it sounds like its gonna be an expensive undertaking at best and from the response I got from them (ASC) they dont think its productive and Im not sure if we shouldnt approach this from another angle.:typing::usa:
