I know that Vintage is in the South area at OSH, but I have questions as to
what is where down there.


Not only do I park down there, I park the planes that park down there.

What is in the rows along the runway, in the rows between the road and the
taxiway, South of Aero Square? There are the Trimotors, and big old
Biplanes, old airliners, Seaplanes, and some other stuff that is old enough,
(and beautiful) and then there are the classics in the areas on the other
side of the road.


The area directly south of the communications building and north of the
Vintage Hq (RED BARN) is reserved for some special large stuff (the
trimotors), past show champions, and a few other "specials" at the
discretion of the vintage committee.

The next dozen or so rows on the runway side are reserved for
non-camping vintage planes. Accross the road, the first few
rows (near the theatre in the woods) is reserved for "antiques"
(i.e. pre-WWII). The rest of the parking is pretty much first
come, first served.


South of those areas, extending down to the South 40, I have seen all kinds
of planes, with owners camping with them, including RV's, and other
homebuilts.


Not anymore. Starting last year the homebuilders have their own camping
area. In the past any showplane (mostly vintage and homebuilders) who
want to camp camp there.
