For anyone that has actually slept in a tent at OSH, does it cool off
enough at night to sleep comfortably? If it's muggy all night, I might
just blast off and fly my homebuilt somewhere and get an air
conditioned hotel room. My plane is fast, so even if I have to go as
far as Milwalkee, it's no big deal. I just don't want to make
reservations, then have to deal with not being able to make it due to
weather enroute from SC. If I wait around until it's dark, and late,
then find out it's too hot to sleep well, im stuck in misery, misery
misery. Sweating all night.
I was there in '95 and it was smoking hot all day every day, and
extremely uncomfortable in the tent at night. Not sure I slept much
while I was there.
The night before we left, a front and storms passed through and the
temperature moderated considerably. We chased the front to the east
the next day through ever clearing weather and managed to get home by
evening.
It was so hot the several days I was there, you worried about leaving
any skin exposed. People would walk by looking like they were about
to drop.
Not much you can do about it but stay out of the sun. Sleeping at
night in the tent was difficult. That's the way the weather goes, it
could be very nice, very rainy or very hot. Or it could be all three
during the time you're there.
