If you do not land at OSH, and camp with your plane, you have missed over
half of the experience. REALly

I second Jim's motion, Marc. If you fly all the way to Oshkosh WITHOUT
landing there, you will have bought dinner, drinks and a show only to
find that you've been kissing your sister. Right idea -- wrong
person/location!

All you have to do is land at a nearby airport, within a hour or so from
OSH, get up early and take off so that you arrive within the first hour or
so the field is open, a few days before the show opens, like Tues. or Wen.
No problem then, the traffic will be very light.

Absolutely. Just first land somewhere to the south and west (like, oh,
say, "Iowa City, IA" -- KIOW -- I know a great "Pre-Oshkosh Fly-In Pool
Party" that has free beer, wine, pop, food, music, etc, every year...
:-) within 90 minutes of OSH.

After resting up (overnight is always fun!), your flight into OSH will
be short, and you'll arrive fresh.

(South and west are best, so that you arrive in the RIPON procedure
without having to make any radical turns before joining the flow. Of
course, if you arrive a few days early, there won't BE any "flow"...
you'll just fly straight in.)

It's the flight of a lifetime. Don't give it up because you've been
scared away.
