Russell Kent asked:

Anyone know if the Ford folks at Oshkosh will have an RX-8 on display?

Paul Lamar responded:

I doubt it. Last year they had no Mazda's. Ford likes to pretend they
are entirely different brands when in fact they share many
components. The Jaguar (owned by Ford) display was separate.

That would be a synergistic coup for us if Mazda showed up:)
Imagine everybody walking into the Mazda tent/booth and
saying to the sales people "Did you see the Mazda engines in all
those airplanes out on the flight line?" :)
The lawyers would have a cow.

Well, it *is* dairy country... ;-)

I'll email EAA HQ and ask.
