Great write-up. 2012 was our first Oshkosh trip as well, but we drove. This year I want to fly up, although I'll be spam-canning it in a rented Archer.
I didn't realize they had a system in place for handling shipped gear; that's good info. I might even be able to recruit another friend to come along and split the rental costs up some more.

Small world Brian!
See the red and white tail, just above the red tent to the right of your bird?
That was us!

Nice write-up of our trip. But it wouldn't be complete without a mention of the bus ride into Oshkosh and fine dinning at "the Roxy". We ate like Kings.
