We arrived at the Pet/24 generator area of Camp Scholler early Saturday morning before the start of AirVenture 2015. Much of the area was under water because of the overnight down pour. This was...

I was not suggesting displacing a large amount of prime camping space. As a matter of fact I doubt a large amount of space would be consumed by RV manufactures. Set it up out by Highway 41 and use...

I was confused by that as well. That is why I called AirVenture in June for the clarification. The member present rule was said to apply. Now maybe the person I talked to had the facts wrong. I was...

Not throwing around personal insults. I direct you to the AirVenture Where to Stay page.



I did call EAA before AirVenture started to confirm the rule. I did have friends on site early, but I...

I have been attending AirVenture since 1973. This was my first year staying in Camp Scholler. It was a very interesting experience. It struck me that EAA is missing a significant opportunity by not...

Jim, it is all ready happening with the "first pay, first serve" electrical and water camping sites. If you go through that area each site is clearly marked. No people are needed to volunteer for...

I guess. As a group I have been really impressed with the caliber of EAA members. They always impressed me as an orderly group who follow the rules. In this case I guess I was wrong.

All the more...

Yes, a member who does not live locally could ask a "buddy" to pay for and stake out a campsite. Of course that is against the rules. There should be a way for a member to reserve (and pay) for a...

Not really sure what is going on about early stake outs, but you can be sure no one from New Zealand is here staking out a site early.

I did notice that a bunch of people who arrived last weekend...

My experience has been slighty different. I have both Verizon LTE and ATT LTE devices here at AirVenture. Both ATT 4G and Verizon LTE work "OK" before noon but quickly degrade through the afternoon...

I posted about my concern with the "first come first serve policy" in Camp Scholler in this thread. I am now in Camp Scholler after traveling from California. While my experience in much better than...

Would you like me to post it on another thread? It may be the only "HD webcam" streaming right now at AirVenture. :D

Live webcam image from Camp Scholler. Updates every ten minutes.

For the period July 25 to July 31 temp and precip are forecast to be near normal. We will see.

Very innovative mount for the GoPro. Like your video in the San Juan Islands.

I have been doing a deep dive with the GoPro 3 Black attached to a Carbon Cub in the San Juan Islands. My Carbon Cub...

Ok, this number worked. Here is the deal for sites with electrical and water. You cannot reserve one of these sites until June 28th. But you can reserve a site over the phone beginning on that date....

Well it is not that simple. Current aviation user fees fund 71% of the FAA capital and operating budget. Just by flying our airplanes we are all ready "pay as you go" for much of the cost.

We...

Wonder if EAA is on this frequency. The telephone number listed for Camp Scholler is not working currently. Maybe they don't turn it on until June 28th. In any event, my Australian friend did contact...

I agree this is one option and it is how the system currently works. Before starting this thread I was advised to do just this. Find someone going in early, ask them to buy and stake a site and put a...

Folks, just for the record, I have been going to AirVenture for over 40 years. I have always travelled a long way to make the adventure. I have slept under the wing of my homebuilt, stayed in dorms,...

In reply to several posts.

The last time I flew a homebuilt to AirVenture was 1978, since then only store bought airplanes. Between weather contingencies and airport closures getting into...

I am a long term EAA member (0068108) since 1971. I have always lived on the west coast. During that time I have flown many airplanes (including two homebuilts) to AirVenture. In the 1990's I had...
