It saddens me to see all this chaos and contentiousness coming to EAA and especially AirVenture. It always felt like that ONE week during the year for so many years past, that we could escape the world as it is now days, and turn the calendar back to an earlier time, a time where little of this sort of stuff existed. It seemed as if it was actually a different world during that one week. It still is, of course, perhaps just to a lesser degree. But if current trends in the world continue, I really wonder for how much longer it will be.
