I went to the RMRFI last year, and overall it was worth the trip from Iowa. It is definitly not comparable with Oshkosh in any way. The camping area has the Colorado version of grass, which is more like an Iowa hay field. Very corse. It poked holes through my tent floor. There was no potable water available to the airplane camping area. The area where front range is located is in prime thunderstorm area. just about every afternoon about 3 pm storms start building. Last year i sat in my chair and watched them go by to the North and South, just praying that they stayed away. They did. Perhaps these storms are why there are really not a lot of planes that stay overnight. Most of them fly in in the morning and leave in the afternoon.
