Just a few moments ago I received an email from EAA with the subject line, "Important EAA Airventure Oshkosh Information Inside". At the top, in bold print, reads, "Have your membership card ready to show at the admission gate." This is in addition I presume to showing your wristband.

In all my many years of attending there has never been a request to show my membership card at the gate or anywhere else on the grounds for that matter. So I ask why? now. And what about non-members who would not have to comply with the same request? What's this all about?
