This will be my first time flying in. I live in Milwaukee, planning to go up Wednesday night during the short window between the afternoon and evening airshows.
I've been studying, looks like they want you off the hard surface asap and on the grass. We just had the plane painted, I'm worried about the wheel pants. Does anyone pull them off for the last leg of their OSH arrival? Is the grass pretty smooth?
I was watching a friend's video from last year, his skyhawk's front wheel hit a rut / puddle that nearly buried it to the axle. It kept moving just fine, but that would destroy a wheel pant.
