Greatest thing in American Life!
A few buddies and I have been coming to Oshkosh for 23 years now and still celebrate the Oshkwinox every January because we are excited to be half-way there! We've flown ourselves the last 7 years or so. We love seeing the airplanes, spending too much money at the vendors, and particularly talking to the people at lunch and near their aircraft. A week immersed in aviation. What's not to love! For those who have not already, make sure to see the Seaplane Base. It is a bucolic oasis on a hot day; a nice break from the heat and the crowds - and their roasted corn is great! One of my traditions, like Zack Baughman, is to walk almost to Fond du Lac to see how many airplanes are parked. It gives a good idea of the show's attendance, and the state of the economy. Hope to see airplanes all the way to the fence this year!<br><br>Hope to see you on the flightline!<br><br><br>
