    Nicely played.

    I agree - this is WAYYY better than Disney at a fraction of the cost. I've been to OSH four times now, and my total cost for a 9 days of more opportunities than I can consume is extremely reasonable, especially compared to any other activity of it's type. I get airplanes, nightly entertainment (multiple options), Airshow, museum, personalities, camping, and so much more at a price much lower than about any other type of vacation I can come up with. And the best part is that by doing so, I'm supporting the organization that supports me.

    I admire that you have partied ten times more than the average camper. Don't let EAA's SLT know that - they will stop endorsing fun as fast as they stopped endorsing air races.

Hal probably knows how to get a hold of those folks and the details but what you do is patrol around and keep people from jumping on or damaging other members airlanes. You do that for half the day and then you get the other half free to do as you please.

    Given how much you and Chad et al are joking all around the internet and here about what your constituency consider serious issues, seems like the fun goes on! I assume by not commenting on my question about the attendance numbers, you have taken the issue upstairs and SLT is discussing it?

    The only thing I'm joking about was the idea of us no longer endorsing fun. As for your comment about attendance numbers, yes, I've passed it along.

    Just in case you're joking as a result of that ridiculous thread a couple of months back:


    (Yes, I know they are Germans. I didn't make the picture, I just thought it was appropriate to get a chuckle out of this discussion)
