What's the solution?
As I said, there were kids riding one-wheels through vintage. Another ran up to an electric trike (with handicap sticker) and was spinning the tire riding off. There were so...
I think the general theme for 2022 can be summed up as “Why should we make an effort? You’re going to come anyway.”
The good
Wednesday night fireworks. Some of the best we’ve ever seen.
The...
It's not just the local crowd. There are lots of posts asking "what else" is there for my wife or kids to do. Not everyone has a family that wants to be force fed airplanes 24/7. You're left with a...
I guess $20 million in admissions isn't enough for a third rate band from the 70's.
At some point the EAA needs to take ownership of the event and do what's good for the members and public. Yes,...
Seems like there's not much effort this year, either by the EAA or the participants. News has been slow to non-existent. No forum schedule or vendor list. No concert. (yeah, yeah, the covid excuse...
Considering it was designed to be used specifically with aviation headsets and has the customer reviews from pilots of old ragwings to support it, I would NOT say it would work better with a walmart...
Sporty's has a cheap PJ2 handheld radio with proper jacks, then just get a cheap ASA headset.
They had one job to do - follow the procedure that had been published for over a month. Obviously too much to ask the entitled.
First we have the ":mad: Out of my way, peon! " approach.

We have to remember, AirVenture is a fundraiser, not a fly-in for members to socialize like in the old days. After all, 25% of funds raised through membership doesn't even cover the wages of the...
Cool. Next year I'm bringing a Roman chariot powered by my emotional support Emu because of vision problems - I can't see myself walking around like a normal person. Watch where you step.
Money. Same reason half of Scholler is off limits to tents. If you can't afford a fifth wheel and an electric site or have a generator to run 24/7, you're too poor and creatively discouraged from...
I was going to suggest the ultralight arrival, but "Should not be a type certificated Vintage aircraft such as a Cub, Champ, etc." or even a Pietenpol.
I swear, sometimes it looks like the EAA is...
We usually arrive Saturday before noon and that puts us 3/4 of the way to the highway. If you find a spot closer, ask yourself why it’s not taken. It’s probably a low area that’ll be ankle deep after...
That or increased ticket prices next year to make up for the shortfall. And they know people will pay it for their "fix".
Just ordered my 2020 souvenir hat, lol.
I'm going to say no, that will never happen. Maybe a small heli-bus, but not personal transportation. The reason? Lawyers.
Design something an idiot can fly, and the manufacturer takes all...
Even something like a job box. A company could stack hundreds in a warehouse. Let them know what day you're arriving and they drop it off at the show. Anybody leaving that day fills up your empty...
I think EAA security is staffed by volunteers who got fired from all the other positions. Kinda like giving a kid a plastic deputy badge to feel important. Like me telling one of them there was a guy...
This is going to be interesting, and potentially dangerous. Too many people have been brainwashed into thinking that everyone will need/have ADSB next year. There will be even more pilots with their...
Allow? This is the organization that told a vendor to stop giving away free water. An increase means the EAA gets a bigger cut. No way would they put members over profits.
You should have tried it the night of the storm. 15 minutes just to get a quick weather update.
It's not the speed so much as capacity. There are some stops where it's almost impossible to get on. Like the red tram in front of the forums going north. They're already full from the last stop at...
For the ugly, I'll go with people's behavior in Scholler. It's usually disgusting, but this year took it to new lows.
That bowl shaped thing in the porta-johns is a urinal. It's not a...
Money. EAA is all about catering to the rich. Anybody that can't see that has their nostalgic blinders on. Throw the people that can't afford land yachts and Bonanzas a bone by putting them closer to...
That's what I thought too for my first trip to Osh. Then realized the hour each way meant no running back and forth to take a break or come back at night for show/presentation. Camping is trading...
