Awesome!
What's all this in?
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.
Something this good cannot last forever, and after our generation passes there is a...
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*...
You guys are funny. Evolve, people! Evolve! ;)
This was my 32nd consecutive year at OSH. I, too, remember the time before cell phones and tablets. In fact, when they first came out, we...
Thankfully, the cell companies did an admirable job of bringing in extra cell towers. 4G coverage was excellent, which enabled us to set up WiFi hot spots as needed.
The plaque from Vintage is cool (my son got one the year he flew our 'Coupe in), but that's not what I mean. I want an action shot of my plane flaring to land on RWY 27. Or three or four shots --...
As we all understand, not all disabilities are obvious. If you have a handicapped parking sticker issued by the State, no one will begrudge your right to a scooter.
Frankly, if you can fold...
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:
1. Rutted N40. Ever since Sloshkosh ripped...
We noticed the increased security this year, too -- although much of it was really just theater.
Example: We carried in an oxygen bottle onto the grounds from the N40 in a backpack (the Aerox guys...
The Major Goolsbys tent in the North 40 was great! HUGE portions, and tasty.
I hope they return next year, although I know the biz out there drops to near-zero during the day...
BTW: It wouldn't be so aggravating, except that we specifically asked the ladies at the Seaplane Association if they were holding it this year.
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.
A 20 year tradition, this...
In the N40, Row 523 till next Sunday! Stop in for a beer! Look for the Amelia's Landing banner, and the big Texas flag!
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!
Thanks!
Huh. We always heard the yodeler in the North 40. With earplugs! lol
Another thing I miss are the "Dawn Patrol" warbirds launching. Back when the WWII guys were still flying, those boys would launch the moment the field opened, giving everyone in the North 40 the...
Where is the EAA Airventure app for Android this year? The only one in the Play Store is from 2011.
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!
When my first child was about to be born, in 1990, my wife was barred by the doctor from attending Oshkosh.
She was FURIOUS at her doctor, but complied. (He wasn't born until August 10th, long...
