The EAA should allow us to use our folding bikes at Airventure

I wonder if you personally attack everyone who dares to disagree with your point of view. I commend you on your maturity and objectivity. Go ahead, walk your arse off on the Airventure fly-in. I've been going to that thing since '73, And I could see so much more of it if it weren't for all the walking involved. That thing is spread out far and wide. Many times, things I want to see are so far, I just don't have the energy to go see them, especially towards the end of the day. A person that flys into the show, in a homebuilt, parks and then you face the fact that you have no ground transportation, the hotels are full, and try getting a rental car. I'ved used the busses, but they aren't ideal, especially if they aren't going where your lodging is. So you are on your feet from the time you land and park, until you leave. And they won't let us use a folding bike. Stubborn asses Go ahead and defend that archaic rule. Then one day when Airventure is no more, we'll all look back and wonder why it died. The list will be long, and some of these unneccesary rules will be at the top of the list. Don't think it will happen? That's what they thought back in the golden age of air racing too, and a little over 10 years after it started, it was finished. And not just due to the war, it was about done when that started. People lost interest. And when that's happening, we don't need any unneccesary rules to give attendees more reasons not to attend the event. I can't stand lazy people. Lou I must say that the last time I attended Sun Fun I was impressed with their system. They have a readily accessable Tram terminal with routes posted above the entries. There is also a trailer ride available at a modest price (I think a chapter puts it on ) that goes everywhere on the flight lines so you can get an overview of what's there. In addition they have a dedicated road strictly for volunteer carts that doesn't interfere with pedestrian traffiic. While Oskosh covers more area I think a little planning coulld do something similar. Ed |
