In general, getting accurate static pressure around the aircraft can be challenging. Any place that the air is not going by the airplane at the same velocity as the air well ahead or behind the...

I don't think Skyvector has the capability to do so. Generally, the flight plan doesn't need to be that precise for a VFR flight especially. You are going to fly different altitudes based on where...
This is incorrect. Every other airshow in the country has the military participation. You can see that anywhere else. Why are we wasting valuable Oshkosh show time with all the military performances....
This has been a tradition at Oshkosh.
Really sad to hear about the twilight flight fest aftermath. Maybe they need some announcements during the events (I didn't go to any this year). Generally...
I had griped previously about the mess around many of the food vendors that had been getting worse over the previous several years. I noticed this year that the ground around those vendors was much...
I averaged 6 miles of walking per day during OSH. We did sit for the Wed night airshow, but that is pretty much it for sitting.

I thought the trams were much improved this year. The "between the ends" stops are always going to be an issue, but even that seemed a bit better. The south end is still where some work needs to be...
Pete's is going to be overrun I'm afraid. Its a small place, its mentioned in the beginners guide on Airventure.com and now here . . .
I agree with everyone in this thread about not leaving chairs unattended, but what you'll find is that in recent years that has gone completely unenforced, and chairs will be littering the front of...
Lines go fast either way, but also, Sunday is one of the best days of the event . . . no airshow announcers, the busiest day for aircraft arrivals, smaller crowds.

The schedule on the EAA website is quite good. You do have to play around with the filters to get what you really want as there are...
The level of damage we are talking about in this thread is that of banging control surfaces around which is most definitely minimized by having the airplane pointed into the wind. When we get to...
The really good! I finally got to hear CHICAGORANDY's jokes! Unfortunately, it was just while chowing on a Major Goolsby burger near the tram stop, so I did not get the opportunity to say hi. We...
I wouldn't know how the app was prior since I just used the website. The schedule on the app was a little clunky, but fully functional. The maps were terrible (low resolution versions of the pdf's).
I vote for parking into the wind.
The new EAA Events app is actually useful as I can use a PC to look at and add events, and then see them on my phone! It is the feature I have been waiting on for at least a decade! Thank you EAA!
From the southwest, if your route says to get that close to Chicago, instead stick to I-39 (combines with I-90 in Rockford) into WI, then US-151 from Madison.
I guess personal attacks on our forum is welcoming to potential new aviators? I'm out.
If the goal was to support third rate bands I would agree. If EAA spent our member dollars on a third rate band instead of numerous other things that are aviation or directly convention related, I'd...
COVID indirectly through the sponsors financial situation maybe.
No.
Your right . . . there'd be too many people congregated where the PA is turned off!
Turning the @#%$^&@%^@ PA system off at the north end of the field during the airshow would be a great service to those trying to hear in the forums, and all that wish to not hear what is mostly...
I was just going to post . . . this is a MEMBER magazine. If you don't like the content, how many articles have you submitted?
"The procedure starts by using one of the ATC designated Transitions to Ripon, WI"
"Begin the procedure at the ATC designated Transition starting point. ATC will advertise the transition starting...
