an early arriver to stake out enough room for an airplane and tent.

Not true. The parking area fills up faster than campign which goes on
practically forever to the south. Those people camped in the trees
(alternatively known as Sally's Alley or Calcutta depenidng on who you
ask) chose to camp there away from their aircraft. Many of them are
volunteers for the Vintage division.
