Echoing the previous posts, I usually go late afternoon/early evening (South building, Stits & Butternut) and it's pretty quiet.

Reiterating some of what's been said, all the workers and volunteers I encountered were very friendly and helpful.
Until some of you mentioned it, I had completely forgotten that the USAF 75th...
This is a good point; the standard outlets in your RV won't provide power unless your generator is running. I should clarify, my little camper has a car charger-type outlet, which is what I plug my...
As far as charging your phones, my family often runs the generator for a little while in the evenings, with their phones plugged in to the RV to charge. I leave mine plugged in to my camper...
The Friday fish fry is a long-time Wisconsin tradition during the summer. I think it may have originated with the Catholic practice way back when, but it's become its own thing in this state.

There's always that guy in the Fly Market with the top hat who has a lot of aviation/military books as well as old pop culture items, signs, toys, things like that. I peruse the merch in case there's...
I also like the Machine Shed selections. Their Friday fish fry was pretty good. I wonder if any visitors from outside Wisconsin were confused as to why the fish was only available on Friday.
I...
Does anyone know the condition of the sites in the extended camping east of Stits? I drove through the area last year to check it out and it was fairly rough. Weeds/clover/grass, not mowed,...
On the right side of the picture, yes. But on the left side, there appears to be a second F-104 tail.

Yeah, looks like a pair of F-104s.
I've definitely seen an F-104 at Oshkosh. Probably early 2000s, since I got my first digital camera in 2006. I'd have a picture if it was post-2006.
This pretty much sums it all up. One way or another, you're going to have to stand in line and walk up to a booth to get a wristband at the convention site.
Also unlike a ball game, this event...
Good:
The variety and quality of food vendors. I was so glad when EAA opened it up to multiple local vendors. I don't miss the old Sodexho days. The Machine Shed at Hangar Cafe continues to be my...
I noticed those changes on the map. I'm really surprised they turned the green and orange lots into permit only; that's a lot of parking. To compensate, they expanded the gray lot, which eliminated a...
The movies are at the Fly-In Theater in Camp Scholler. Those don't get shown on the webcams.
I just bought one of those lightweight chairs from Amazon, so we'll see how it goes next week. Very light, seems pretty comfortable.
As I heard it said at a country-western show in Colorado years ago, Country is when you're singing about somebody else's wife. Western is when you're singing about somebody else's horse.
I've also been attending for 20+ years and this year's air show lineup seems to be right in line with many other years. All the standard aerobatic acts, parachute teams, C-17, Heritage Flight,...
It doesn't sound like there will be one big name act headlining the air show, but that's been the case in many years. There will still be a big warbird show, and there's usually an F-16 or something...
Well after experiencing the reinvented bike corral for the first time, I have to say it's not too bad. There's way more room for motorcycle/scooter/cart parking, which was the biggest problem in...
That's pure speculation which I don't think is true at all. Plenty of adults ride bikes and motorized vehicles down to the corral, including myself and my parents in their late fifties. Walking from...
Sure, other groups like pedestrians and exhibitors have to be considered, but there has to be ample space for bike/scooter/motorcycle parking. Camp Scholler is huge and many people ride in from their...
That's disappointing. I was hoping they'd expand the motorcycle/scooter parking area because that's been way too small for a while. It's not a good look for EAA to neglect the Camp Scholler residents...
I can't seem to find any listing or map in the app for food & concessions. Am I missing something?
