[WebMaster]

Does anyone know, will we be able to find a parking spot at OSH with our plane? Someone mentioned calling ahead to see if we can park at Basler.

Pay attention! <Grinnnnn>

I saw that, but I thought it only applied to campers. I emailed you my information.

Larry, If you are only going to Oshkosh for the day as I am, make sure you know what time the airport closes. Not sure, but I think if you are going to attend the Skymaster meeting on Friday, Ya can't stay very long and still get out by 9 PM. That is the time I understand nothing leaves Oshkosh until next day. My plan is to fly to Appleton as in previous years and take the bus down right from the FBO. If the buses stop going back to Appleton before I leave the meeting at Oshkosh I will take cab back to Appleton.

The NOTAM says the airport is closed after 8PM local time.
It will make it tight to get out of the meeting, get to the plane, monitor atis for 30 minutes, and still get in the air. Also, I note that even for you going into Appleton, you'll need a slot arrival and departure time.

Bob:

My Wednesday meeting in Cinci has rescheduled. What's your schedule developing into for next week? I've got some flexibility to come your way if you're still available.

Well if Bob and my lawyer stop in LDM, I'd be glad to buy lunch.

Seperate Subject.
Les Brindle may bring his 3 blade prop skymaster to OSH on Friday. It is a normally aspirated skymaster with an M-T composite prop.

Hi folks,

Anybody arrived at OSH *after* the airshow in the last few years? Weather and mechanism permitting, we will be arriving after the airshow on Wednesday. I need to figure out a place to stop someplace northwest of the field, as I *hope* we will be early, and I need to figure out what time to aim to arrive at OSH. It looks like the field is open until 8PM, so that brackets how late it can be, but the Notam is confusing about when the airshow ends. It says the airshow TFR is until 6:30 CDT, and another part of the Notam says that arrivals are not allowed until one hour after the airshow ends, but that would be 7:30, and that doesn't make sense. The airshow starts at 3:30, I assume it will be done by 6PM, so would you aim for 7:00?

Please don't tell me to get there in the morning, we are leaving Portland, Oregon at 5AM to get there by 6 or 7PM as it is. My passenger can't leave the prior day, and getting up at 3AM for a 5AM departure is hard enough. We could spend the night someplace (and may have to if weather or wind is uncooperative, or if fatigue sets in), but that means less time on the ground at AvMecca.

Advice is solicited.

Sign me,

Think airshow is over about 6 pm. You should have 1.5 hr window and if IFR maybe a little more. I have seen ac coming in towards dusk but the marshelling people start to fold their tend around 7:30. Probably can get in but you might be stuck at BASLER ramp.

Just my opinion based on past experience. No bets are on.

Don't get fatigued! Grab 20k and show us that 350 knt groundspeed again.... right..... summer duldrums?

have a safe trip.

Bob,

You too. Call the Oshkosh message center number when you arrive, I'll post your location, spot number, etc on the web site before I leave if you like. I can also make a sign for the ground guys asking them to direct me there, in addition to the new three letter signs they want.

See you there! I'm off to Canada again today, to pick up my friends after they finished their bicycle trip, and to enjoy myself for a day...

Last minute business changes make it not possible to come to Osh. We had high hopes of coming.

[kevin]

Does anybody know which airports near OSH:

1.) Allow camping AND
2.) Have transportation to the show?

I know Fond Du Lac does, Appleton does not allow camping. Any others?

Just in case the field is full...

Kevin

[WebMaster]

I looked at arventure.org, and they say that Brendan Airport, 79C, has camping and transportation.
Also RVY has camping, but no transportation, only rental car.

[kevin]

Thanks Larry. You are better at web surfing than me. I tried to find it...but could not. What page was that info on?

General Aviation Parking is full as of 11AM this morning, CDT. Camping is 90% full.
