Default Homebuilt camping at oshkosh
Trying to decide where to park with my RV and camp. Does home built camping area allow you to camp by your plane? Or is it behind where the planes are parked? How about show plane camping?

You will want to park in the HBC area and camp with your plane. Handy to everything.

Speaking of which, I visited the area an hour or so ago and have uploaded photos of famous RVers

http://tinyurl.com/29t6by

I talked to Darwin Barrie a few minutes ago. He says that Kelly Patterson from Phoenix had an engine problem over Kansas, but was able to land safely at an airport... dead stick, I believe. Whew! So they won't be here.
I was talking to Doug Reeves when Paul Rosales sent a text message that the FAA refused to allow the 35-ship RV formation to fly as one group. Some paperwork was not filed properly, I guess.
So that sizeable contingent will be landing as individuals.
More as it happens.

Bob you've raised my excitement level 100%. I can't get there till later in the week but from your pictures I'm getting goose-bumps. Thank you so much for taking the time to share them with everyone.

Default Sorry to hear about the 35 ship problem
Having seen some wonderful passes by folks at the LOE fly-in I was looking forward to video and pics of this event.
