    If EAA enforced the ban on beer in the N40, two things would happen.

    1. You'd see four more bars open over between Friar Tucks and Charcoal Pit.

    2. Camping attendance in the N40 would decline...

    I thought it was pretty funny that it asked where I camped (the North 40), and then later asked where I stayed.

    Since "my tent, in the North 40" wasn't a choice, I had to type it in... lol

    The Air Force had a remote radar site, presumably connected to NORAD in some hardened, secure fashion -- but they neglected to run a phone line "as long as they were at it"?

    This why I tell every, single pilot I meet (and we meet a lot of pilots!) that they MUST attend Oshkosh, NOW.

    Just once, it would be nice if these videographers wandered out into the North 40, where the majority of fly-in attendees live for a week.

    I know that doesn't sell, but that's where the heart of...

    My thoughts exactly. I'm on the field for 7+ days. The only time we leave is to ride our bikes to eat at Friar Tucks, Charcoal Pit, or La Sure's. Not only do I want WiFi for social media, I *need*...

    This was our 32nd OSH. It was wonderful, as always, and we are already making planes for OSH 15.

    That said, there are always areas of improvement:

    We noticed the increased security this year, too -- although much of it was really just theater.

    On the off chance that someone actually sees this before wasting their time coming out, for the second year in a row there is no Friday fish fry at the Seaplane Base.

    Love the app (we've been in OSH since Sunday) but to update it in the N40 I have to set up a 4G hotspot. The crappy WiFi just doesn't cut it.

    Love the georeferenced map, BTW!

    And if they skip the Friday Fish Fry at the Seaplane Base again this year, there will be hell to pay. We attended that for 15+ years, and all of the sudden it just went away last year!
