Top Ten Things that Suck About Oshkosh

I agree that immersing yourself is the best part of the experience.
But some people prefer not to fly into such congestion or prefer to
park at a spot where their aircraft isn't fondled by everyone who
walks by. A good portion of the aircraft parking at ATW are heavy
twins and jets, these need hard surface parking which is not exactly
at a premium at OSH. I've camped in the RV campgrounds as well as
slept in a tent under a wing, both were fantastic. The nights at OSH
are something special in their own right. But then again some folks
just like hotels and need to get away from the hustle and bustle of
the show to unwind each evening. Staying in ATW gives them that
chance, plus there is a larger selection of eateries that you can
actually get a seat to eat dinner.

Tom P stated in the news interview that EAA was going to spend as much
money as they have during the past 25 years in the next five to
upgrade the infrastructure of the event. Better transportation around
the field so people don't have to walk as much. It was evident this
year the number of elderly and handicap people who love attending this
show will benefit most.

For those of you who complain about the rain turning the soil into
mud, don't remember the years when it was nearly a hundred degrees all
week with high humidity and no rain. The grass was brown and each step
you took resulted in a mini dust storm. Or if someone started up their
aircraft it was a major dust storm. It was always funny to see the
pictures taken from the air a couple days after the show, revealing
the green silhouettes of the aircraft from the untrampled grass under
each plane.

A little landscaping around some of the troubled areas prone to
flooding need to be addressed, those are simple fixes if someone just
takes the time to do it.
