Dummies Guide to flying to Oshkosh

Jay, if you keep telling the neophytes that, we won't have anyone buying
for us at Friar Tuck's.
Remember, unwritten rules are "unwritten" for a reason.

I actually don't get much of a chance to drink, at Osh. A lite might even
taste good! :-) I am there with the aviation explorers, in the camp next to
the Cap'ies. You know, with the red and white striped tent? I will make it
a point to find you one night, since the north 40 is just a hop skip and
jump away....

Ian,

a sort of dummies guide


That's easy: Dummies should walk, drive or take the airlines.

Actually, Montblack and I are working on a better plan for this year, which
will include a cookout on-site, rather than walking to dinner later.

Last year we all got so toasted (long, hot day + no food + lots of free beer
= Big Trouble) that by the time we stumbled over to Friar Tuck's, everyone
was pretty well done for the night!

Please pardon if this has been discussed here, but I am planning to
fly to Airventure / Oshkosh with a pilot friend (both of us are
pilot,) and I have to imagine that some kind soul out there has
written a sort of dummies guide to what to do, go, bring, see, not
bring, avoid, etc.

Any pointers to websites or message board records would be greatly
appreciated.

We will be flying from Ct, (DXR) and in a 1979 PA-28-180

Thanks!

Interestingly, we tried a similar experience in October, flying in to the
nearby Copper State flyin. It was much smaller, but total chaos by
comparison - planes busting into the pattern at high speed, poor radio
work, etc. Oshkosh was much better organized and I think everyone is a
little more sharply focused, knowing that it's "the big one".

Very true.

Heck, I've had worse experiences flying into little EAA Chapter breakfasts
than I've EVER had at either Oshkosh or Sun N Fun.

I will loan my one-burner gas grill to the cause.
I shopped each afternoon at Piggly-Wiggly for my dinners, walked back
to the plane and cooked for three. We had grilled chicken breast,
fillet mignon, burgers, mashed potatoes, rice, veggies, etc. every
night.

Fine. How 'bout I bring a two-burner gas stove and a bottle of wine instead of beer?

Dang! This sounds like our new volunteer cook, to me! :-)

Deal!

Probably oughta coordinate with Montblack (who is currently AWOL from the
groups, due to an ISP problem) over who brings what -- but that sounds great
to me!
