Hi,
I would like to chime in to saying a big "Thank you!" for the webcams and the streaming video of the airshow and the Theater in the Woods. This makes not being able to attend this year much less painful. I enjoyed watching the air show stream every day. I also agree that it would be great to have runway cams during the main arrival and departure rush hours, with microphone to capture the ambient sound. That would make it feel like sitting on the flightline, from my own couch at home. I am hoping to attend OSH next year again in a "non-virtual" way.
Edit: Are you going to archive the airshow cam recordings on livestream somewhere for future viewing? Would be great to watch them again on a rainy November afternoon...
all the best from Germany

Looks like the Vintage tower has been lowered, the cam is showing grass and has strange angles of the images!
So I guess that's a wrap for 2013, great job guys see you next year!
I saw as it happened the lowering of the way finding towers. Cameras are still on. Sad to see them coming down till next year.
I too want to say thank you to everyone that worked so hard to let me peak in and see what I missed this year. Having the cameras made havingt o stay home this year just a little less depressing.

For those of you that still want to peek in at the last images of Oshkosh, the Vintage camera has been pointed back towards the control tower and Phillips 66 Square. This is about the only view we can give with the camera laying down and the picture oriented correctly.
Thanks to all involved and the "until next year" view of the tower! Good to see that the Vintage cam survived its loss of altitude this year!

My son and I were two of those volunteers shooting daily footage. We got a serious appreciation for what it takes Todd and Paul to make it all work. All we did was film what we were seeing as we experienced Oshkosh (and my son stayed up a little later each night editing), but Todd and Paul - they put in some serious hours and serious effort every day! They deserve major kudos! We learned a lot this year, and we're really looking forward to OSH14!

Since all 3 webcams are still streaming, would have been nice to have at least one of them pointed toward the runways so we can see the airplane traffic and see how much less active that runway is when AirVenture is not in progress. Nothing worth looking at in the grass.
