Here!Here! It's about people and friends. The BEST airshows that I have
seen at OSH have been viewed while sitting, beer in hand, in the N40 talking
with friends and occasionally looking up when being overflown by a group of
warbirds, an aerobatic act, or even by departing GA aircraft. The common
factor to these great events is people and friends. The airplanes are
simply our excuse.

I suspect that there is definitely something to be said about driving
in... You can carry so much more creature comforts with you... Your
beer drinking time is not decreased since you're not flying... For me,
the choice is between a 9 hr flight vs a 24 hr drive...
