Where to camp

[redrocket]

I have a '66 cessna that would technically qualify for vintage parking/camping but it definitely not a show plane. I would like to park in vintage but would this be frowned on. Should I just go ahead to GAC. This will be our first time flying in to airventure so I am a greenhorn. Thanks for any suggestions.
Ps, we are camping the latter part of the week

It does not have to be a show plane to park in vintage. If it's vintage................it's vintage. Park & CAMP there.

Absolutely park and camp there. Best place on earth.

All you need to camp in vintage is a plane that's made in December 1970 or earlier. It doesn't have to be "show quality." However, you will get your plane's picture taken and if you are a VAA member (or you join), you'll get a nice commemorative plaque with the picture on it and a neat glass beer stein.

Yes, and if you are NOT a Vintage Member, please consider joining.

I joined last year. I'd bought the picture plaque as a non-member for several years, but last year the volunteer laid it all out for me how it was really a better deal to join. I walked away with at least as much "free" stuff as the membership cost. This year they've raised the membership dues, but it's still a good deal given the magazine, the support for the cause of keeping the old aircraft flying, and the Vintage facilities and activities at AirVenture.

I assume you are aware of the vintage picnic on Wednesday afternoon? Absolute great event. Tickets at Red Barn but buy them by Monday or you will be SOL.
