Yep, all showplane camping used to be down south of the comm building (show center). About six years or so ago they created a dedicated homebuilt camping area. The EAA is scraping to get enough airplane parking/camping so that by next year, they will not turn away any aircraft, homebuilt, GA, or Vintage. Vintage never really closed for aircraft (though the airport got saturated and didn't let some planes in at times, we've always got creative with finding places to stuff them). Several years ago they got more space where is what is now HBC. They've also been grabbing more area down the south end of the field (closer to Knapp street than the old "Fond du Lac city limits" vintage aea). Alas, it takes some time to get these spaces usable. They had been cornfields and pretty heavily rutted and poorly draining. Either the new maps are bogus or they've actually grabbed some land on the west side of Knapp street down by Ultralights to rehome the rotorcraft (not sure how that is going to work). The new HBC and some expanded GA south parking cover the fact that up until recently we've been steadily LOSING airplane parking/camping for a number of reasons:

1. The FAA moved the burn line back an aircraft width after an accident far from anything (go figure).
2. The stupid assed perimeter road and 8' fence ate into much areas.
3. The realignment of taxiway Bravo in the North 40 not only chewed up parking spaces but also hosed up the drainage making parts of the grass areas unusuable.
4. Space has been consumed to expand services: two campstores in the south, a second registration building, an expanded Vintage Cafe.
