I am no expert, but I have made a few mental notes on things that I could improve for this trip to Oshkosh.
Please add yours so we all can learn.
1. the parking signs (HBC, HBP, VFR, etc.) do much better if mounted to a ridged surface like cardboard or a clip pad.
I had used printed sheets before and they are hard to hold and taxi at the same time. Others have had theirs blown out as they opened the canopy.
2. be sure to take note of your parking row and number before you go to the registration booth. I always forget this. It’s one of the first things they ask for and you feel silly if you don’t know it.
3. small pieces of wood help to keep your wheels from sinking when parked on soft ground.
Of course, read the notams. (I mark the pages for easy reference)
And this year be sure to bring the sun block and mosquito repellent.
