Wow, that's almost creepy, Jim. Mary and I were just talking about how
great it would be if someone would build a gazillion of those stupid
storage
units (basically glorified miniature garages) on Wittman Field.

I'm sure hundreds (thousands?) of us would rent them for the whole year,
just so we'd have a place to store all the stuff we bring to (and from)
OSH
each year.

I'm surprised EAA hasn't jumped on this as a money-making proposition.

Yeah, it would be great. Shoot, a 5' x 5' x 8' tall would be more than
enough room for a few couples.

The thing "I" see as a problem is the EAA's not wanting permanent building
on the field. I don't know why, for sure.

The Aviation Explorers wanted to build a permanent kitchen building on their
base. The base is not used by anyone else, the whole year, but still they
said everything had to be moveable. So they built a building that "could"
be picked up by a mover, and moved. Same problem with a permanent shower
building. We have to walk down to the Warbirds shower building.

Speaking of permanent, what happened to the new control tower that was
supposed to be built? They broke ground for it last year, IIRC.
