Paul could make a few special trips to OSH, meet Jim, store PMC units,
etc. Ooooooooooooh, our own MOAG...now this is getting exciting. All
we need to do is convince someone (JimB/Paul, perhaps even Joe the grill
master) to rotate nightly shifts running the grill and we're set. No
more having to run from the Charcoal Pit through the wall of water! :-)

No more hauling around the PMC -- "Pimp My Cooler", AKA: "The Coffin"??

Call me a defeatist ...but this building will need an access point, no? :-)

Hmm. The "rec.aviation club" works for me.

Or do we need something more official sounding?

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.

The building already has a loading dock in the rear of the structure.
Fork lift the storage containers within the building to the dock, load
onto delivery truck.

Actually, I was thinking of turning the inside into self-storage units.
Hundreds of closet sized units.

Don't know any logistical details but it would appear they buy matching
tents by the dozen. They do know how to have a good time.

You know, if a gang regularly went to OSH camping, they could get all of
the
stuff they need every year, and rent one of those small climate controlled
storage units, and just go and get their stuff when they get there, and
put
if back when they leave. It would be a good way to have a lot of luxury
stuff, without having to deal with shipping, or packing every year.

Sound like a good idea?

It already happens to some extent. Folks with campers and the right
connections have been known to store on the grounds or in one of the exhibit
buildings 51 weeks a year. If you are a serious volunteer it might just
help the situation along iffen you know what I mean.

Sunshine Rental is located 4 blocks north of the Whitman field FBO (end of the
bus line). It's at 1607 Ohio St. Phone is 920 426-2117.

That's the closest one I found.
