Hi,

Just a couple of thoughts, others on here may have better ideas. Maybe change your plans and fly into Chicago, that way you could rent a car and drive, if need be. Better yet, just fly Chicago to Appleton, Wi. and you'll only be 20 minutes from Oshkosh. If that works out for you, I'll be glad to pick you up in the car and drive you to Airventure. Also, your dates might be better for the folks flying in. If there are not coming for the entire week, seems like guys would come for the open and leave Wed or come midweek and leave Sunday. If you can stay the week, there are plenty of things to see and do the 26th or 27th and quite a few aircraft fly in those days and leave on Aug 4th. Hope this helps.
