    Looking through a few pages here, it looks like they didn't start operating until mid July last year.
    They've got to get the towers up first. Then the people who handle the communication to them have to be there. I figure they're either contractors or volunteers. There needs to be something to look at too. I wouldn't think there's too much activity yet.

    Yeah, except for that one week (actually about 10 days, with early arrivals), KOSH is a pretty quiet airport.

    That's about right! I help manage that implementation at EAA and it ends up being about that time once the wayfinding towers are up and we get everything connected. We do it as soon as we can because we know people love them!

    Sara,

    I don't know how long you've been around EAA but there used to be a few (3 I think) on-line camera's at the museum that would allow us to peek in year round. They were removed, we were told, because of inadequate band width but they would be back soon. That was 3 - 4 years ago. Any consideration to bringing them back?

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi All,

    The webcams are managed and maintained by volunteers. Sara is a great help managing the host webpage and helping out our volunteer group.

    This year has started out to be quite the challenge, early January we were informed our office location that we have all the computers and servers to handle the webcams was being torn down due to a renovation project at the theater in the woods. As of right now that project is still in works and we have not been able to start installing our equipment. This is putting us considerably behind schedule.

    This Saturday Paul and I will be going up to get the 3 cameras mounted on the wayfinding towers before they get raised. In past years the towers usually get raised around the first week of July. Hopefully we will be able to get the wayfinding cameras online shortly after the towers are raised.

    Still enjoy taking a peek at the webcams. Looks like the North one may be down. Makes me realize how much work it is to take it all down! Also get to say I was probably right "there" this time last week! Always tough coming back to reality after a well there!!
