Top Ten Things that Suck About Oshkosh

"I'm not really into that NASCAR stuff."

The NASCAR crowd (which is our code for the airshow attendees who
leave a pile of empty beer cans and the ground covered with butts when
they leave) is largely absent from OSH, at least until the weekend.

During the week, the crowds are fantastically clean, well-behaved, and
knowledgable. Most are pilots, of course.

Only on Saturday and Sunday are the grounds flooded with the unwashed
masses -- but this was how many of us were first exposed to OSH, so I
won't complain too much. I once walked among them.

I call them the lawn chair crowd. They almost always show up toting
lawn chairs. Of late they haven't been too bad (since they did away
with the #*&@!$%$ Jet truck was dropped and most of the Mastubators of
Destruction have died). Most nicely stayed behind the lines although
a few clueless still couldn't figure out why nobody was sitting in
the large cleared off firelane and set up their chairs there.

I still have no freaking clue why people insist on touching propellers.
Of all things on the airplane to touch this has to be the worst yet
the unwashed masses feel compelled to stroke them as they go by.

Ron- I really appreciate what you add to the newsgroup, but I think that
comment was in bad taste. . I really didn't care for the jet truck, but the
rest of the Masters of Disaster show was the best airshow I ever saw. And
all three are gone now. But your comment will have some positive results.
After going to http://www.xteamairshows.com/ I'm going to be making a
contribution. I can't imagine he could have gotten life insurance.
