For anyone that has actually slept in a tent at OSH, does it cool off
enough at night to sleep comfortably?

Usually, yes. Take a sheet along. I also took a small battery pack, like
you use to charge up a car battery, and hooked a small fan to it, and hung
it it the top of my tent.

If it's muggy all night, I might
just blast off and fly my homebuilt somewhere and get an air
conditioned hotel room.

Gotta leave by 19:00, so you have to decide well before then. Also, you
might arrive the next day, to find that the field is full. I wouldn't risk
it, if it were me, for the seldom problem of not cooling off at night.

My plane is fast, so even if I have to go as
far as Milwalkee, it's no big deal. I just don't want to make
reservations, then have to deal with not being able to make it due to
weather enroute from SC. If I wait around until it's dark, and late,
then find out it's too hot to sleep well, im stuck in misery, misery
misery. Sweating all night.

I feel your pain, but it's all so worth it. Hang in there.
