Hello Andrew, and welcome aboard!
This will be my 47th convention, so I'm here to tell you as an annual tradition, it's pretty awesome.
WRT water, anywhere there's a water fountain there's at...
Hi Ron- Interesting stuff, as always. It's pretty telling that the Pitts and Stolps have such staying power, but I'm curious about the absence of the Steens. Any insights?
Well, there was a sea change in the org's philosophy a few decades back making it money centric rather than people centric. As such, any structural change will be to increase net revenue and any...
Congrats on both the weight loss program and getting the aviation fire lit again!
With regard to the colorblindness issue, have you tested for a Statement of Demonstrated Ability (SODA)? Forty...
It's been more than a decade since I've actually sat through a show. The announcer's bs has a lot to do with that, as well as the afterburner aimed at the crowd, and neck snapping acro in over...
Howdy, and welcome!
I believe the tentative plan is for two mass arrivals Saturday and one Sunday, but as with all things aviation, is subject to change primarily due to weather.
As previously...
To add my two cents to all the excellent advice above, the two lane traffic into and out of the world’s biggest aviation event is a spectacle unto itself. I’d be there as early as practical and stay...
I'd suggest checking with the Academy of Model Aeronautics and their museum in Muncie, Indiana.
On a tangent, I had an issue with them registering my homebuilt. The short version is they were wrong, and obstinately so, and our FAA liaison at headquarters fixed it in the blink of an eye. They...
I had this conversation with a mx fed years ago. What he shared was that the only thing required to actually be TSO'd was a GPS to be used for terminal operations. If you as the builder say the...
I may be able to help but will be on the road for several more days. I’ll take a look when I get home.
Hi All-
Just a thought- while the cancellation will certainly represent a huge blow to EAA income, there won't be the usual expenditures, either. And as bad as it might be for EAA, our event is the...
Howdy, and welcome!
Camping on the field you do pretty much have the run of the place, but if you are coming through the main gate I suspect that the hours are limited and posted on the website. ...
Hmmm.... Be careful what you ask for! My first convention, we woke up with frost on the inside of the tent....
With regard to the wish list, I've been fortunate to see all but two up there. ...
Or, one COULD do like the old kits, and use a plastic 35mm film canister... um... nevermind!
Thinly veiled political commentary aside, it is worthy to note that Curtis ‘s nose dragged was also a pusher, and that The succeeding tail draggers were / are tractors.
Wow.
So, hi Nick and welcome. Despite the instant and rude response from one, you would be very welcome at our little reunion.
There is a Swiss glassair that participated for many years, a young...
Randy, thanks for the work.
To the rest of the troupe, while at Oshkosh, you are among a half million of your best friends. Ask anyone for guidance, and odds are you will get the help you need. ...
Hi All- First off. I agree with all the negative comments. However, I'm guessing most on this thread never ate Zaugs. Wow. Eat that for a week, and you will be a changed person, and not for the...
Frame of reference is kinda important...
There tends to be quite a bit of churn mid week as the first half participants leave and the second half participants arrive. Mid week on you should have...
First, welcome to our little reunion!
So, to address what you asked, check out the warbirds area at the north end. They have a dedicated tour tram ride through the area that will afford you a quick...
All of the above, plus the cowl lip is sharp and not contoured, the rudder is hard over, and the greenhouse is not open correctly.
For what it's worth, at least some of the planes did carry 100...
There is a lot of really sound advice and experience in all the preceding responses. A couple ideas I'd add after 40 plus years of camping on the grounds: There is bus service within the...
My understanding is that there can be more than one tent to a plane, but they do have to be in the footprint and are supposed to be family. Some folks up there are quite practical when it comes to...
To the OP and floats flyer- I think it’s t was about ‘04 when I parked a Warbird on the square and shlepped all my camping gear to Scholler with the he help of an EAA gator. So, now you’ve heard of...
