My first Oshkosh trip was like that. I went with my father, in his Baron and flew to Fiske approach. I was a relatively new pilot then and absolutely amazed by the approach and departure. Going through the brown arch with my flight line pass made me feel quite special. I was a young man then, as a wrote, a new pilot and recently returned from aan extended tour in Germany (and therefore reacquainting myself with America at the same time.) All amazing. I still tell people about the approach and departure that day. (It was just a day trip!) I am not saying that it should be like that today, but it was just very different. Today, we need to make more people feel that aviation is approachable for everyone and the non-pilot crowd at Oshkosh is reasonably well behaved - which is very different that other AirShow/aviation events I have participated in.
