Yes it is 2011. It shows where I was parked. Looks like it may have been taken Thursday morning. I am on the wing of my airplane getting ready to depart.

It was actually monday. Early afternoon would be my guess. Look at Aeroshe... Conoco ph...  whatever and you will see the concert stage with about the right size crowd for just before the airshow. Also, no airshow planes are pulled out to get ready and some sort of twin is landing 27.
I managed to find our plane and the tent-mahall our friends set up next to our plane. I thought I was joking when I told them it could be seen from outer space

I think it is Tuesday morning. I am camping on the very edge of the camp ground and they just opened up a new area to catch the overflow. They mowed the field to the south of the ultra light flyway and were just letting campers in.
Does Google Earth date stamp their photos?

Definitely early Monday afternoon. That was the day I moved my plane out to the show area from the N40 and it was only there for the day. It is in this picture in the show area and I moved it back to the N40 as soon as the airshow ended. Looks like just before the airshow started with people setting up their viewing perches along the flight line and all the airshow planes are staged ready to go. There are a few RV's taxing in so obviously the airshow had not started yet.
My empty spot in the N40 with my canopy cover holding my spot: 43.989715, -88.566811 and my RV in the show area: 43.986138, -88.563696
(to get your coord on map, right click on your spot, select Drop Lat/Long Mkr, highlight then copy coord w/ Ctl V, paste as desired)

The Google Earth timestamp is 7/25/2011 - that would be Monday. Can't see a time but the shadow of the tower suggest roughly 3pm or so local.
Thanks for posting - that way I made it to Oshkosh 2011 after all (at least virtually)
