Default Top Ten Things that Suck About Oshkosh

1. NOT flying. This may sound counter-intuitive, but we fly less
during the week of Oshkosh than any other week during the year, simply
because it's SUCH a pain in the butt to fly in that area and return to
your campsite. (Just ask the guys who went flying Friday, and then
couldn't get back to their site when the airport was closed due to the
Mustang collision.) By the end of the week I find myself looking
forward to the flight home, just cuz it's FLYING.


This is one of the main reasons I don't do Oshkosh. I have limited time
off, and I like to spend it flying.

Last week, whilst flying and camping around Montana, I was asked (for
probably the 1000th time) why I wasn't at OSH. After all these years, I
finally came up with a response that brings the OSH conversation to an
immediate close. My reply :

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


John, that is the best description I've heard. My sentiments exactly, I
just didn't know how to express them so succinctly!
