Default 5th year in a row for me total, 2nd year in an RV.

Looks like I'll be flying my friend's RV-8 up there again for the 2nd time in a row, along with a gaggle of other RVs from the D/FW metroplex who'll meet up with me here in WFalls early Sunday morning. I'll be staying in Wautoma Sunday thru Thursday, attending AirVenture Mon thru Wed, then heading off to visit a buddy in Eau Claire, then back home on Friday or Saturday to the wonderful blistering heat of north Tejas.

Default Flyin in on Friday

Plan on flying in for the first time and camping with the 10 from Friday till Thursday morning.

First time flying in or camping at Osh Kosh.

Are there any shuttles that run from the field to the restaurants across the road ? Applebees root beer is one special request of my son and it looks like its to far to walk.

Also is there any cab service if not shuttles prior to the show on Saturday or Sunday ?

Just north of the main gate on Forest Home Av. is a large control tower-looking building. This is the ground transportation hub, and all the shuttle buses run from there. There is also a taxi stand at the same location, and someone inside the building to answer questions and help you. They should be fully up and running by Saturday, Sunday at the latest. There is also a tram that runs from the flightline around to north 40 to the Friar Tucks area.

Default Be there most of the week.

Since I work in Fond du Lac, I'll most likely stop into work on Wednesday and Thursday. This will be 21st time at Oshkosh. This year I pick up my motor from Aerosport. Can't wait to see how it turn out. Will be looking at Dynon, Garmin, Vertical Power, and anything that is panel related. Will be attending several workshop type activities, Sam James fiberglassing, gas welding, and anything electical.

This year I will be flying "out" of OSH." Does this even count". I will be bringing back a Pober Pixie a buddy built. He cant fly it due to med. issues so a coinflip between me and another chap left me the outbound leg. I will bring one of our motorhomes up on sat. and my dad will bring the other motorhome up that way he can leave on wed and I will have the other one to stay in if weather delays my departure or hopefully the Pixie wins something. It is a very nice and well constructed plane Next year the only coinflip will be who flies left seat as we will have the 7 done. I feel better about flying back because the drive to somewhere fun is always is faster it seems than the ride home from from somewhere fun. I hope the guy flying up does'nt have the same feelings as he is bringing the motorhome back.

Default Me too

Flying in to Appleton on Sunday. Will be there until Thursday. Staying at the YMCA, (indoor camping). I like roughing it. My Rv is in the paint shop and should be finished about the time Oshkosh ends. Hurray!

I'll definitely be there, I just don't know who will be tagging along this year.

Our son is moving from Hawaii to South Carolina next week, and if all goes well settling in there (finding a home, a vehicle, paperwork, etc.), he may fly back and join me as my RIO. I think he was 14 the last time he went to Oshkosh with me, and I was tasked with having "the talk" with him. When I finally screwed up the courage to broach the subject on the last night, he actually laughed at me!

Anyway, if he comes with me, then the spousal unit will be driving up with the support vehicle (containing a large tent, air mattresses, cooler, etc.) a few days later. I'm much too old and decrepit to be roughing it anymore.

I'm planning to fly up this weekend sometime and stake out a campsite and pray that nobody moves my stakes this year. Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones!

I'm planning to be there all week; learning as much as I can to prepare for flying in with the 9A next year.

Look forward to meeting you all!
