Not that I would know anything about this (ahem), but many OSH diehards are getting up in years and getting less mobile.

Long-time Camp Scholler camper here. There's a good grocery store, a Pick 'N Save, about a mile from the field. I've done my grocery shopping there. The campground stores are nothing to write home...

Variety is what does it for me after many years of attending. Would love to see a glider acro act again, if someone has taken up where Oscar Bosch and Manfred Radius left off.

2014 was my 27th straight year attending the convention. (EAA member 20+ years.) Still, the three-night minimum stay at Camp Scholler caught me unawares. I understand it's a longstanding policy -- it...

This year was my 25th straight convention. Every year brings new pluses and minuses. One of the few minuses for me this year was at the Aces Cafeteria, where I chose a bottle of orange juice and...

I camped in Camp Scholler for the first time in five years. Prior years: Four in dorms, twenty in Camp Scholler. Arriving Thursday, an hour before dark, put me pretty far southwest -- near Cedar and...

Lights on bikes make it easier and safer to ride anywhere at night, not just at Airventure. Just saying.

On Saturday, both Ripon and Rosendale had police cars stationed just inside their city limits on westbound Highway 23 to catch cars heading out of town. I normally drive northwest out of Oshkosh...

It was a kick to see a woman flying Jack Roush's P-51 "Gentleman Jim" at OSH on Friday. As far as we've come with women in aviation, I suspect this is still pretty unusual.

Ended up buying the 5" battery powered fan. Found it at my local Dick's Sporting Goods store for $10. It's of extremely light construction, definitely not something to stuff into a corner of a...

Have to admit that I'm surprised by how light this forum traffic has been, prior to the start of the convention. On Airventure's Facebook page, lots of Likes but virtually no posts. And also just...

Finding something as exotic as decaf coffee ;-) is difficult on the show grounds, so I doubt that there are any gluten-free options that are offered specifically because they're gluten free. (There...

In the heat we're likely to have, any kind of serious backpack would be unpleasant to carry around. Maybe unless it were full of ice! ;-)

I prefer a fanny pack that also can be carried with a...

Antique Tower, is this what you have?

Here are a couple of DIY things in the same vein:

Kazoo, with your gap of more than two decades, the biggest tip I can offer is to get set for a very different experience this time. As you've probably read, the convention's gotten MUCH BIGGER and...

I agree with bneal, the water from the drinking fountains on the show grounds is perfectly drinkable. Your Mileage May Vary.

Thanks, Rick. What's your read on the noise level from the fan?

Thanks, Aeropilot!

The closest thing to a reasonably priced balanced meal on the grounds is at the Ace's Cafeteria. It's nothing to write home about, but you might find a spaghetti dinner or ham with scalloped potatoes...

I'm camping at Camp Scholler for about the 20th year, having stayed in dorms the past four years. My stays have gotten shorter over time. I used to bring an 11x11" cabin tent and stay for 7-10 days....
