Homebuilt/RV Vendors Using the New Chalets at OSH?
Just wondering if any of the tenants of the new "Chalets" were in any way related to the homebuilt/experimental/RV market?

Most of them were empty when I walked by....apparently not rented.

Bingo. 2 of 5 were occupied today. Maybe we could get one of the famous end of Oshkosh discounts?

I bid $20 to use one for next years opening day.

Years back we stumbled by the Piper tent near the end of the show. The Piper Cub T shirts were $1.00 each. We bought them out. Needless to say, we wore Cub shirts for a lot of years

My impression is that the chalets are an eyesore, blocking visibility of a good section of the runway if you're strolling along the paved road. Sort of like putting a skybox at ground level behind home plate. A better idea would be to erect real second-level skyboxes across the road and leave the view open for the pedestrians. The chalet people would have a better view of the flightline and could people-watch when things got quiet on the flightline.

It my be a bad rumor, but based on what I heard this week, don't be surprised to see several more chalets next year. Some may have appeared unused, but apparently good money was paid for their leases.

I had exactly the same feelings and thoughts about them. A complete atrocity. I have Rod's phone number and email address in my pocket and fully intend on telling him what I think about putting up a fence to hide the flight line and runway from any vantage.
