The Oshkosh trophy quest is an ego thing to a big extent. I think that the Glacier Girl has been a labor of love. They are completely different motives. Also, Mr. Shofner has a considerable amount in his airplane and I understand him wanting some, however slight, return instead of making a donation to the EAA. I suspect that all things considered it would cost $5,000-$7,000 to take it to Oshkosh, fuel, rooms, crew salary and expenses. That would be a pretty expensive trophy even if it was good enough to overcome the obvious annual politics that go into judging at Oshkosh.
