EAA announcement-visit Oshkosh but no camping

[arffguy]

I can't find the old thread where some people stated that they wanted to fly to Oshkosh and have their own "mini-Airventure 2020"

I had a feeling that wouldn't be possible and here is the announcement:

I get it but would have been kind of cool to old school it.

A few hundred planes, open the north 40 showers. Tents. Walk into town for restaurants, a few beers in the cooler by the plane and maybe a bbq or two. Just a dream Oh well, i understand its not possible, just sad. 2021 will be epic right??

Here's what I keep thinking about: I figure, given the hundreds of thousands of annual attendees, it's almost a statistical certainty that at least one person is going to travel to OSH without having any idea the show is cancelled. And they're going to be soooooo confused.

I think that if one guy shows up by flying in it will be the guy that didn't bring the notam and he's going to call up the tower and ask for instructions.

Which, ironically, will actually be pretty much the right thing to do in this case.

The only flaw I see in my supposition is how this person would know the right day to come. But I have enough confidence in the creativity of human beings to see this as a surmountable obstacle.

At Triple Tree, several years ago, we had a poor guy from China show up for the Joe Nall RC event exactly one week late. We took him to lunch.

I imagine the local controllers have a pool going...date and time the first pilot asks "HEY, WHERE IS THE SHOW?"

Alternately, a guy rolls up to the entrance of Camp Scholler in his RV thinking "Wow. First one here... I'm gonna get a GREAT space!"

I'd like to get in on that action!

I think those folks planning to drop in to OSH should circle Green Lake a couple times, can't have the locals getting used to the silence!
