I will clarify. I think *THIS* year, the problem was more with vendors and
golf carts. The gators and the EAA golf carts all seemed to be relatively
sedate and courteous....and I would get out of their way. What got on my
nerves was the number of cars and minivans. Maybe I just hit it all at the
wrong time, but I entered the grounds from Camp Scholler behind the South
West Exhibit building. By the time I made it to the Cessna unveiling of
their LSA on Monday, I had already had to stop and move out of the way for 4
vehicles.

Again, maybe I'm just a magnet for them, but it definitely seemed worse this
year, IMHO.

There were actually fewer support vehicles this year. If it weren't for
them there would be no OSH. Give volunteering a try and you might
understand the need a little better. The rule is no one under 16 or 18
(can't remember which) drives a vehicle. Just having spent 9 days at OSH
I can't say I ever saw the rule violated.

I was able to get my family to OSH again this year (usually its a "guy's
trip"). We had a great time and enjoyed all parts. But, as usual, I do
have some gripes. Number one of those a Did anyone else notice a
marked increase in the number of vehicles running around the flightline?

I know that logistical trucks (ice, food, gas, trams, etc) should be
expected. But I was constantly having to get out of the way of someone
in a minivan, scooter, gator or golf cart. My daughter was almost ran
over by a 14 year old in a golf cart. What gives? To me, once the show
starts (this would exclude Sunday's setup day), the vendors shouldn't
need more transportation than the average joe.

I had figured that it was "just me", until I had some guy in a mini-van
honk at me as I was walking on Aeroshell Square. Needless to say, I
slowed down

Anyone else see this as a problem getting worse?
