I love Oshkosh a few days before the show starts--lots of energy in the air--fun watching the formation groups come in. Displays being put up, etc.
We have also started flying up in May for the first work weekend---One of my friends comes from California--we then fly non stop to Oshkosh in my Bonanza from Oklahoma--I KNOW--its stupid and costs a lot in gas to just come up so they can work us like dogs on the grounds of Airventure--but damn--its just a lot of fun !!!!!
2013 will be my 18th straight year for attending
