OSH N40 Camping with Cessna reservations

Hmm... 500 reserved spots... how far east of the "west end 9/27" shower
building would that put the beginning of the other North 40 parking/campers?

I work the north 40 flight line ops, parking.

The cessnas will be at the west end of 9/27, north and south of the
runway, but as mentioned, you need to make a reservation with the folks
who are organizing it. The mass arrivals are Saturday afternoon, with the
cessnas scheduled to arrive at 2 times, 2pm and 3pm. There are also the
bonnies arrive at 1PM, and mooneys at 4PM, so anybody else may well want
to avoid arriving saturday afternoon if at all possible!!

With that said, it does take awhile to fill up the north 40 camping, so if
you arrive through sunday, you should be able to get a space.

Personally, I think they are way overestimating the numbers of cessnas
that want to park in the reserved areas. 500 planes is a heck of a lot!

My guess would be 20 to 25 rows, IF they all come, and IF they don't want to
park down at vinage, or camp with their non Cessna friend in the non
reserved section. My guess is that this will be a big bust, with perhaps
200 planes parked in the reserved area, so that might put them about even
with the shower.

Of course, this is a big time WAG! g

Hey, to get a campsite near the showers (but not TOO near), I'll paint
"Cessna" on the side of Atlas!

Yeah, that's the ticket! All you have to do, is taxi upside down, right?

Wasn't there an airshow biplane with wheels on both sides?

Craig 'something' in California has a Pitts with landing gear on top and
on the bottom.

I thought I remembered something like that, but I couldn't find it via
goggle.

It was a pretty neat setup. The only airplane that made me smile more while
watching it, was Jimmy
Franklin's jet powered Waco, may he rest in peace.

Have you no shame? Nope, didn't think so. And it's Cezzzzzzna (at
least to a Piper owner) :-)

Hey, by "Day Four" on the flight line, the distance to the showers
becomes "flight-critical" -- at least to my feet and back!

:-)

Cezzzzzzna. I *like* that!

Hmmm, point taken (and a good one I might add). Still, I don't think
there'd be any fooling the guys like John who do a fantastic job of
herding us around on the ground in the N-40.

Cezzzzzzna. I *like* that!

Hehe....I think I learned that one of my partners.

Is that like the beauty contestant making her acceptance speech and
telling the audience that she wanted whirled peas?
