I've found them very responsive and appreciative of reports.

Last year the app was unusable because it wouldn't even come up when there was no internet data (and there was none for a bulk of the busiest days). This year the dead times were much better...

The NOTAM acronym is now officially NOTICE TO AIR MISSIONS. It's politically correct to call it NOTAM still.

I didn't detect any errors in the 2022 NOTAM, they fixed the glaring ones in the...

Vendors should be using the expo company (at least during prime hours) rather than driving into the exhibit areas.

We had a vendor on a green machine barrelling down Wittman road at full speed...

Additional ugliness. Despite previous lawsuits and consent orders the EAA still persists in failing to comply with basic ADA requirements. We again had disabled members abused by security at the...

Here's the post-show ugly. I got a message from the EAA asking my opinion, but goes to a 404 page on surveymonkey when clicked.

Further, the post has an obnoxious privacy invasion (tracking...

It's always been a mess. It has gotten better. In previous years it's been near unusable during the actual show. This year, it only really crapped out completley (at least ATT and Verizon) on...

The new signage was a big improvement. I still think they should list all the stops (similar to most mass transit systems) ahead rather than just the next one. The Scholler gate turnaround is...

The weather (other than that firset blow) was pretty good this year. Mostly around 80 during the day and cooler at night.
The show seemed pretty good.

The downside for me was the apparent...

Here's a couple of albums of shots from Wednesday

Dunno. Stopped carrying my rig with me years ago.

It indeed sucks. It's better if you drive up the road a bit, but even with the temporary cells installed on the grounds, the thing still gets bogged down during the show days.

I like 02C (Capitol CIty). Lots of people stage at New Holland (directly across the lake from Osh).

Yep, member services (800) 564-6322 is helpful, but this should still not have happened. The failure of the EAA to handle this is a violation of their consent decree from a federal lawsuit. ...

If it's a single seat electric chair (your "hoverround" type). Then he just comes through the gate with it. There's no pass needed.

If it's something like a segway, then it needs to be checked...

Great. I already called one of our early volunteers there. The Ultralight camera shows a wide open space in vintage except for one aircraft. Oddly, he seems to have decided to park in the...

A few years ago right at sunset, they launched a bunch of powered parachutes as some "fun flight" demo.
I picked up the radio and announced the "cirrus mass arrival."

I sort of cheat on this one. Since I have a hotel reservation for the Hilton Garden Inn after the show, I have it shipped to them "HOLD FOR ARRIVAL." They have no problem forking it over early...

I brought my son when he was 12 or 13. We set him up in his own tent and he was able to find others his age without problem. While he didn't do it, I know of lots of kids in that range who...

I charge my hearing aid charger and my usb battery while working during the day and then use them to recharge things at night.

I believe there are two different operation thirst operations. One operates before the show starts and the other picks up when the show starts. I've got a friend who volunteers making sandwiches...

I suggested Margy attend the "What's new in notions" forum once. The results were not pleasant.

Camp Scholler has a dump station and water fill at the south gate. No charge. When you first arrive you go to the main gate/registration building. They will issue your camping credentials...

I've never been a fan of the band. It's not much of an interest to me at an airshow. It was an attempt to draw some of the local non-aviation crowd in early in the week.
