Bob is just a three letter word. At work BOB is what we call a "Break Out Box".

I got here late but Darwin nailed it. The NOTAM goes into effect Friday morning, but it is really "NOTAM LITE." Most of the pieces are in place, but there are not that many arrivals, so you may be told to just fly straight in or whatever depending on winds. It's a training day for controllers as well.
The whole volunteers corps won't be there but there will be enough of us to handle the early birds. We spend most of Thursday and Friday setting up (cones, row markers, fences etc) and break away to park the occasional arrival. Arrivals average about 1.5/ hour on Friday. You won't have any trouble finding a spot.
One note for those considering early arrivals- if you come on Friday (or earlier) and you are not volunteering or otherwise part of the war effort, you are really just a PITA and in the way. Every year I talk to people who come in 2 days before the show opens and complain that there is no place on the field to eat. No kidding. You really need to factor that in to your plans.

Driving in on Friday like always, (I'm still building). I love strolling around the grounds Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I enjoy watching all the mass arrivals. There just seems to be a different group of people that arrive early. It's like watching the calm before the storm. I'm really hoping to meet many of you this year.

Oh, I'm all giddy just thinking about Oshkosh. |
Well I now know where the cookies will be. Bet the cookies do not make OSH.

Upon first consideration, you might think that. However, TC is an expert operator, so I wouldn't be so sure that there won't be a secret stash that makes it all the way to OSH. I don't have any real first hand knowledge of such things, but I'm just sayin'. .

You'd better do what you can to ensure that some of them make it to Oshkosh, lest you and your 39 friends arrive to find the field closed! These things do happen from time to time. Just sayin'.....

IF the cookies are disappearing fast, I will grab a few and save them for your crew.
