Default Top Ten Things that Suck About Oshkosh

If the continued popularity of satellite fields such as Appleton
continue to attract visitors who want to be close enough to Oshkosh
yet have the ability to come and go on their own schedules.


This is a phenomenon that I truly don't understand. I have met many
people who have flown their aircraft all the way across the country,
only to stop 20 miles short of the main event and land off-field.

Dunno if it's fear of the Fisk Approach, or what, but take it from me,
a guy who spent his first 16 OSH fly-ins staying off-field -- there is
simply NO comparison between the two experiences.

When you're staying at Wittman Field, you are immersed in the
experience, as opposed to watching it. In many ways, if you haven't
stayed on the field, with your airplane, you haven't been to
AirVenture.
