But...but..who doesn't want a 6 am wake up alarm from Merlin engines departing runway 27! That's one of my wife's favorite things about Airventure camping! (For me, it is just part of the overall ambience.) The other noise in airplane camping is really pretty minimal after sunset. (I am far enough away from Ron's hooligans in Vintage not to be bothered by them ;-))

Just a FYI,
i have stayed in Appleton for previous Airventures and have used the shuttle back and forth. Great service, on time and fairly inexpensive. I am sorry the company names eludes me right now. The only thing I did not like was ( how it was when I last used them), the shuttle did not allow me to stay for the night air shows. I believe it would have been frowned upon me selecting a random tent to crash for the night.
