I've looked on the airventure site again and I still find no mention of
using colors for the signs. Can anyone who thinks colors should be
used, send a reference to where those instructions come from? I recall
seeing people using colored signs in the past but couldn't find
anything relevant to this year...


Is it in the NOTAM?



Yes, page 1 of the notam...

Ok, I hate to be a pain in the a** about this, but I had read the
airventure site and the NOTAM multiple times prior to my initial
posting and there is nothing I can find about colored signs. If I'm
missing something then I'd really appreciate someone giving specific
information on where this information is.

I've included the text from the NOTAM page 1:
http://www.airventure.org/2006/flying/notam06.pdf

"Pilots landing at OSH should have a sign to designate
their intended parking or camping area. The
sign should have large dark letters readable from at
least fifty feet. It can be hand made or printed from
www.airventure.org/atc/arrival_signs.html. Display
the sign in the left side of your windshield after landing
and use one of the following codes" (the pictures of the signs follow
this text)

Neither this text or the link to the online signs has anything about
colors. I could definitely be missing something, but so far I'm not
convinced that they are using anything beyond white signs with big
block letters...

Thanks,
Eric
