Well, I'm sure I'll get bashed for this, but I hope the fly-in is held with as few restrictions as possible. You can't eradicate an airborne virus, and this one, while very contagious, has an...

Whoever thought of the tram idea deserves a statue. I use them extensively every year. Could horns be installed on the tractors to help clear oblivious people out of the way? Or a snowplow?

My mother is almost 90 and has a Manhattan every night...well, late afternoon. Whiskey, not rye, and no garbage. If she's still around next year I'll send her your way!
Sadly, the ADA, for all the good it has done, has also led to a lot of problems. Anyone can claim that their dog is a service dog, and the business can only ask two questions, about what the dog is...
I'm not sure how to enforce it, but vendors should not be allowed to drive their carts along the flight line unless their exhibit is out there or they are on some kind of vendor business. Driving...
I'd like to see Tora Tora Tora do a few re-enactments.
Adding another good: the expansion of the Vintage Bookstore. I really miss the Aviator's Bookshelf tent in the fly market, which was always my first stop. The former owner of that was volunteering...
The Fun Fly Zone being promoted is pretty new. Maybe put suggestions on the survey EAA sends out so things can continue to improve down there?
Isn't that how they got the homes that stood where the forum pavilions are now?
The "service dog" thing has gotten out of hand. Sadly there is not much EAA can do about it because of restrictions posed by the ADA, but people need to stop putting vests on their animals and...
It sounded pretty chaotic over the radio and looked pretty chaotic in person. The controllers kept saying that 18/36 was not available but I never heard them say why...how hard would it have been to...
Friday's list from BeagleOne. Good: I've had several excellent meals at the Hangar Cafe. I love that that old building is still there and in use. Although it's spelled "Hanger" on the menu...
I'll add a couple from today (Thursday). Good: rescheduling the night airshow and allowing Wednesday wristbands to get admission for today because of that. The Heritage Flight. Seeing the Honor...
I'm just curious...that line of storms was visible on radar long before dark. Wonder why they just didn't cancel earlier?
Add another good, the night airshow has been rescheduled for tomorrow. I usually don't stay for it but it's so popular I hope a lot of people who were there tonight can come back tomorrow.
It's been rescheduled for tomorrow night.
Okay, Oshkosh week is sadly about half over, so what do people think is going well, needs improvement, etc.?
I'll start. The good...it's Oshkosh week! I've already met some fantastic people and...
There are way too many permit-only lots now, especially the G lots. Who gets all of those permits? It really does seem like the average civilian is being discouraged from coming in. Where are...
Yeah, they've taken away a lot of the parking over the years. I almost always park off-site now. I got to the Blue Lot yesterday about 0730 because I was meeting someone near there and it was...
Nope. Diversity for the sake of diversity is pointless, and will not make EAA a better organization. If the best people for the job are all old white guys, then so be it. If the best people for...
Pedestrians don't have the right of way when they're walking down the middle of a road, on either side of the pond. There ARE too many vehicles on grounds, especially the golf carts, but pedestrians...
Outstanding photos! LOVE seeing the past and present military aircraft fly. This year especially poignant with the B-25s and Col. Dick Cole there for the 75th Doolittle Raid anniversary.
There were a number of forums I wanted to see that were at the museum, so I didn't attend. Transportation between the main grounds and the museum is just too much of a pain. Get to the bus stop,...
Danny's completely over-caffeinated. I thought he was going to explode on Friday. I agree that the announcers need to shut up when the planes are doing their fly-bys. I would also like it if most...
I saw two idiots driving gators and texting while they were driving, in crowded areas. It was ridiculous.
