The one time I missed the airport closing for the air show by just a

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).

I'm not sure as many people will be flying this year, but in 2003 I got
there late and the airport was closed for the air show. We were tired
and camped at Fond du Loc for the night. Sure enough, after the air
show they filled up completely. The next day we packed up and headed
for OSH only to have to come right back to Fond du Loc, for good this time.

I don't know if they ever did fill up in 2003 and 2004 or not.
