The grounds were quite a bit smaller back then though. Of course the main issue is how much should be spent for one week a year. From a rough measurement on Google Earth, it’s .4 miles from the main...

The convention is completely over now.
The live video feeds just went away :(
It was interesting to see how fast things get packed up there.
Under settings, i see where you can change everything but that.
it may be under My Account, but that has a lock next to it for me.
Maybe an admin can help after the convention is over.
It usually gets delayed as the service it gets hosted on has to do some processing with it. Even watching the same TV channel over the air is much earlier than watching through cable.
i figured I...
Plenty of room to come in right now. There's a thunderstorm going through. Someone was still driving a tram during the rain.
Following the link in the letter, it looks like there is the free Maker and Community edition that is available to anyone, and the EAA benefit is a 25% discount on subscriptions to the Solid Edge...
On EAA's website page Membership -> Member Benefits -> Exclusive Content, there's a link to sign up for the different EAA Newsletters, but it's not working. It only takes you back to the Exclusive...

It looks like what they call, an early access version of X-Plane 12 can now be purchased for $59, or the time limited demo can be downloaded at

Early access is...
Instead of setting up separate hardware, I’d suggest the free VirtualBox from Oracle. I’m running a XP computer off of Windows 11 for some old Cricut stencil cutter software. It still gives access to...
Looks like the main EAA web site is getting overloaded now. I can't even get to the home page.
Unfortunately the streaming feeds are not searchable on YouTube. While going to airventure.org/live is...
I didn’t see that post, but that’s disappointing. They had some of the best SWAG too.
A big item for EAA and Young Eagles is they provided the custom car for the Gathering of Eagles auction which...
I'm on a slow private conversation with someone on the forum. I send a message last June. He noticed it, and responded in November. I didn't see his reply until just now. While I visit here at least...
It looks like you need to click on the calendar to select the arrival date. Otherwise it selects the day they open the campground to the end of the convention. (38 Days)
I don’t have any first hand knowledge of that situation, but our chapter doesn’t try to have too many events on a row. People have other things to do on the weekends, so we try to not take up too...
The Boeing people won't like it called that. AeroShell was two sponsors ago. They aren't even an exhibiter there this year, although happily they are still the primary sponsor of the aerobatic team.
These are the METARs from last night during the storm. Looks like peak wind was 34 kts. I don't see any GR or GS (hail) in these reports, although these are automated , so I don't know how well the...
At $15 a day for an 8’ X 15’ plot of grass, I think there’s plenty of money there. The limitation of the available land, and how much to invest in an event that is only 1 week a year factors in to...
I’m not there this year, but when I do go, I’ve always stayed off site and drove in.
I was wondering how the car parking is working out in practice without the Blue lot, and essentially everyone...
Thanks Craig,
I see what happened now. When I moved my mouse pointer off the document area, the controls disappeared.
It would still be nice to have the document available when I'm in a...
I tried reading today's paper online, but even at full screen on my monitor, the text is very difficult to read because of the size. When I press Ctrl +, only the controls change size, not the...
Well this doesn’t inspire confidence. Why is the PCR test OK today, but it won’t be next January 1? It appears that the PCR test doesn’t adequately identify the famous new germ vs. the normal...
Thanks for the clue on serial numbers.
Looking further into it, it looks to me that the NS-# designation is for the booster.

When they had the capsule and rocket at the convention in 2017, they said the New Shepard capsule we were able to get inside was the actual one that would fly.
I was wondering if that is still the...
The July 8 EAA e-Hotline email had this information:
For international travelers who require a PCR test during EAA AirVenture, to return to their country of origin, please directly email...
