FINALLY got some time to put a quick and dirty Oshkosh 2006 webpage together. See it he http://alexisparkinn.com/oshkosh_2006.htm If you want to jump straight to the Wednesday Night North 40 Party, see it he http://alexisparkinn.com/wed_-_north_40_party.htm I haven't had time to add some...

Maybe I am spoiled. I keep expecting that in this modern age there will be plenty of photos of an event like AirVenture even while it is ongoing. The official EAA site is top heavy with photos of mechanical bulls, past prime rock n' roll acts, and photos of the people that make AirVenture what it...

For me, OSH is out of the question this year. With so many costs up, flat income, and the cost of fuel so high, it is just not in the cards. I am wondering if there are others in the same boat. EAA carefully guards attendance figures but for those that are there, what does it look like? Lots of...

I passed on the trip this year. I heard that attendance numbers were way down. You guys that were there, what did you see? Bob

If you are going to Oshkosh, you may want to consider a stop at our little small town airport. 3LF http://www.litchfieldil.com/airport/ take a look at the photography, the young eagle links, the pilot info and then.......... stop over here for a night. Gas is guaranteed at $2.85 a gallon...

Cut that one a little close, we did we did. The Oshkosh Bound artwork for printing your own "Oshkosh Bound 2007" posters is up at www.rstengineering.com and then a link from the bottom of that page. Also posted is the updated graphic showing the Ripon-Fisk-Oshkosh transition. Please don't use...

The 2006 Oshkosh Bound posters, the Ripon-Fisk-Oshkosh graphic procedures, and a couple of "wallpaper" graphics of the Oshkosh sectional are posted with a click from: www.rstengineering.com Have a cold one for me, fellers...

This year will be my 5th consecutive AirVenture. If ever there was a born camping hater, it's me. But I have slowly gotten the hang of it. Last year was fantastic, and I have some of the regulars here for the ideas that made it that way. (Eye shades & ear plugs... how could that have not...

Hi guys, I have an Oshkosh Diary posted on my website...www.fairchild24.com. You can go right to it at http://www.fairchild24.com/osh2004.htm I'll post more as time goes on. don

I've not been to Oshkosh on the first weekend, always later in the week. Can you walk around looking at planes (for free) on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th? Show opens on Monday, July 25th. When do they start charging 'gate admission' at Oshkosh? What's open/available the first weekend vs. what's...

I was wondering if anyone has Oshkosh lodging recommendations for the 26th to the 30th. This will be my 6th Oshkosh, but the first time I'll be able to fly into the show. All previous times we have commuted from Madison after flying in there due to relatives in that part of the state. I know the...

You're invited to not one, but TWO Oshkosh parties! That's right, TWO Oshkosh blow-outs, organized just for pilots and their guests. Check 'em out: 1. ** 5th Annual Iowa City Fly-In Pool Party ** Each year, on the Saturday before OSH, we host a fly-in pool party at our aviation theme-suite...

Thanks to all for posting the Oskosh pics. I have enjoyed them. Ive never been there, but hope to make it one day. Thanks

http://makeashorterlink.com/?B3B15378B Thanks to everyone who made the party possible! Great fun! Dave

Sorry for the delay this year, but extremely busy since returning from Oshkosh.. Pictures are at http://www.myairplane.com/oshkosh2004 This was our first time doing a booth, it was 7 days of terror and fun at the same time. Our booth had a crowd in front if it constantly from the time the doors...

I'm thinking of making my first trip to Oshkosh this year. How far in advance do I have to plan this? For example, how quickly do the local hotels fill up? (Haven't made up my mind if I will camp or do the hotel thing.) Do I need a reservation to park the airplane? If so, how quickly do they...

Okay, gang, last chance to get the details. Here's how it's gonna work: Thursday night, immediately after the airshow, we're having a rec.aviation get together at our campsite in the North 40 campground. We'll have a few drinks (*gasp*!), and then head on over to Friar Tucks for dinner. To find...

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rogue's_gallery_i_-_p.htm#OSHKOSH I finally got around to adding some of the pictures that were emailed to be by folks who attended our rec.aviation party, held in the North Forty at OSH '03. Scroll down past the fly-in pool party pictures to see 'em. (By the way,...

One of the problems with a 1 gig camera memory card is that it is possible to take virtually unlimited pictures at OSH. If you figure it takes a minimum of 1 minute per pic to look at, adjust, and save -- and I took 250 photos -- we're looking at a minimum of four hours just to save the pix...

Yesterday's 1 1/4 hour flight compressed to 9 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XvY44k1NdY Video contains landings at KJAN, KHKS and M16. Camera overheated at the end of my flight and I restarted it for the KMBO landing, ended up going around (bottom dropped out more then I cared for) and...
