FSS at Oshkosh this year?

[Bill Greenwood]

It is just my guess, with no inside info, but I believe that the FSS station will be open at Airventure just as it has in the past.
While I am sure that there are many people who are experts with an cell phone or other techno gadget, for me, seeing all the weather maps at FSS and having a real briefer in person seems by far the best way.

My next best way, and really sometimes even better is to see WSI at FBOs that have this service, as many of the main ones do.

About 2 years ago a pilot who's family I know and went to school with, got a briefing on his cell phone and left Steamboat Springs in a C182 with his wife and kids.
Unfortunately the weather about 75 miles away was not so good.
They almost made it out of the mountains, and went down about 35 miles SW of Denver. Very sad.
