But DON'T land somewhere else, cuz you're intimidated by all this.
Landing at OSH is the thrill of a lifetime, and, quite frankly, coming
to OSH by landing at Fond du Lac or Appleton and riding the bus up is
like kissing your sister. It's ALMOST right, but not quite...
The one time I missed the airport closing for the air show by just a couple of
minutes and had to divert to Appleton, it was a horrorshow. The NFCT at Appleton
was incompetent, the bus schedule allowed for a lot of waiting around, you have
to schlep your luggage around from bus to bus. I was staying in the dorm, so bus
from Appleton to OSH, then bus from OSH bus terminal to airport terminal
building, then bus from terminal building to the dorms.
If that ever happens again, I'll just stage myself at a nearby airport and wait
for OSH to reopen. I'll get there before the person who diverts to Appleton and
takes the bus(es).
