Man, I am loving the Vintage WayTower cam. Watching the mass arrivals on Sunday with the cam locked was/is fantastic!!!

You can always go from nice to mean.
But you can NEVER go from mean to nice.
BE KIND to ONE ANOTHER!
Just got back home from Oshkosh. Looking at the webcams (withdrawals) the question I have is: Why even bother with the Sunday airshow? NOBODY is there.
The problem becomes "Which day do you make the last day?"
I believe in order to keep attendance up on the weekend, at one time they ended it Tuesday. Then they pushed it to Monday. Those were very quiet days. The first time they tried the night air show, it was only Saturday to try to keep members from leaving on Wed, or Thursday. Too many people explained how they had to fly back to work to start the next week, so the Wednesday show was added.
Do we start the event on Sun, and end it Saturday? There's already TitW and movie presentations that day, but will it hurt Saturday?
If the event was just a weekend air show, planning would be different, but our week long convention is quite unique
Actually, if you're there, the last day can be used quite productively. Vendors can be talked with. The museum isn't as crowded. You can take a helicopter or Tri-motor flight.

This is a good conversation, but I keep looking at the webcams. It is early Sunday evening and it is as depressing as all get out.
I was listening to EAA radio all week (which is highly entertaining, thank you) and even they said that the Saturday night airshow is essentially the closing ceremonies. I had enough vacation blocked to do Sunday, but by the number of empty spaces on the field even on Saturday, there seemed to be little reason.
Around the time of the Sunday Air Show.
I was wondering what happened to the live stream of the Sunday EAA AirVenture Daily Airshow.
I thought maybe the cameraman that is on the Air Traffic Control tower was a no show.
While waiting for the live stream to maybe go live, I was watching the Vintage cam.
All of a sudden this little Beautiful Monarch Butterfly, flies in front the camera and heads west towards Theater in the Woods.
A couple minutes later, the Sunday Air Show live stream starts working !!
The live stream of the Sunday Airshow, was as Beautiful as that Monarch Butterfly.
Maybe that little Beautiful Monarch Butterfly straightened out all the wrinkles.
