If you can hold altitude and airspeed, if you can follow logical and

a colored dot).. then you would be best just to fly into OSH and camp
there..

Now.. if you CANT do the above.. by all means, good luck landing out.

But I would vote for camping on the north 40.. no place else compares.


OH, but I prefer the Antique/classic camping area. It has atmosphere
and...*shade* at least in a few places and is more centrally located.

Now if you need a plane that has modern performance, lots of room, and
comfortable, but will still get you in there, I have a relatively low
time (less than 4000 hours TT) 1959 Beech Debonair (first off the
assembly line) that I'd sell for a slightly exorbitant price.
Collectors item and all that...yah know:-)) Course I really don't
want to part with it so the price would have to be *really* high.

I unexpectedly have the opportunity to fly to Airventure for a few days. A
friend who has done this before has recommended that I fly to a field near
OSH rather than right in to Wittman Regional. I will be flying around the
north end of Lake Michigan.

Do you have any recommendations for which field I should use? I assume I
would plan to camp with my plane if possible. Does that make sense when
based away from OSH?
