How is the set-up going? Any pics available from the month-long campers/staff?
Here's a sliver of the preparations - the annual move and display of the EAA AirVenture Museum's combat jets collection: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...7067873&type=1
And there's some, forgive me, but... happy campers here:

Setting up any webcams yet?
What ever happened to Steve's Blog? (assuming that Steve is still around) Although infrequent, I enjoyed those posts.
Steve is still doing an absolutely fantastic job with us! His blog was quite popular...lots of work tho too...I flew the Cub after work tonight and the grounds are looking great! Didn't take any pics tho. I'm flying young eagles at Pioneer on Sunday, and I'll take some pics to post.
The three cameras that run on a tour were mounted this last Monday, short of one minor issue of a blown power supply on one camera, everything tested out, the replacement power supply has been ordered. If all goes as planned, at least two of those cameras should go online fairly soon with the third after the replacement parts arrive.
Also, we are changing the method of distributing and encoding all the camera feeds this year to allow greater compatability with different operating systems and types of browsers. The three cameras that run on preprogramed tours will be using new hardware encoders due to the logistic of where the equipment is mounted and the Airshow Camera and Theater in the Woods will be encoded using software in hopes of maintaining a higher image quality on those two cameras. A couple months ago we had a sample feed up using the new distribution method and had excellent results and response from the people that tested it.
We will be creating one official forum thread for this years webcam feeds and will try to post on there when we know of difficulties or weather related issues. Please what for this thread to be started in the near future.

Chad,
Normally I am a "glass is half full" type of guy and give people the benefit of the doubt.
But with all the other B.S. going on, the only way to interpret your response is that it's too much work for Steve to keep delivering his blog that was very much enjoyed by EAA membership. It shouldn't have taken more than an hour a week to assemble, unless there were too many pre-meetings to determine content.
With all the other PR issues going on, I would think the EAA would look for gems like this to keep folks happier.
