Have a good WATER PROOF tent, I remember hearing people getting up in the middle of the night/rain storm, because their tent flooded. Also dont camp in low spots.

Can anybody give Mike some positive advice? Mike, this will be my 25th "Oshkosh" and I have never had a bad year. Sure, the weather might get bad but that is just part of it. They will give you a map of the grounds when you get there, go over it and pick out what you want to see, because you won't be able to get it all in, even in a full week. Hope this helps. Glenn

As an 11 year veteran of OSH, I pretty much plan my year around it. Most
calendars go from Jan to Dec, mine goes from August to July. As long as you
are prepared for OSH, you will have fun.

Walking shoes are the order of the day - never wear flip flops or sandals,
you will hate it. You need the cushion for all the walking.

You will want clothes for any type of weather: shorts and jeans, long sleeve
and short sleeve shirts, light jacket.

Get a small dome tent - not the A-shaped tents; domes usually will not
succumb to some of the storms that blow through. I have yet to have an OSH
without at least one good rain come through.

Tie downs for your plane!

Have a small/medium sized backpack. This will carry your water and snacks
for the day. Bring lots of water and some healthy snacks like granola or
energy bars when you start out for the day. We do this because we tend to
burn a lot more energy walking around and don't like to spend money on OSH
priced snacks. We do buy lunch at the Twin Pines food court.

Don't worry about a bag for goodies; vendors will usually have them. Just
hit one of the exhibit hangars. XM has nice cloth bags that you can use
over and over.

Shade can be your friend there are lots of trees to cop a squat under!

Bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.

We plan our days around the geography of the airport. One day will be for RV
parking, North 40 and Warbirds. One day will be AeroShell square and
hangars. One day will be Vintage and ultralights. One day to hit fly market,
hangars, and AeroShell again. If you're so inclined, take a half day to go
see seaplane base too. One day is just to repeat what we want to see again
and add in the Museum.

I have camped in Camp Scholler every year at OSH, now we have quite the
family compound on ROW 10 south of the West Gate. We have family from AZ,
OH, MI, and NY. Big 20x20 silver tarp tent with about 5 or 6 smaller tents
around it. Look us up!

All,

I didn't read all the emails but just go! The organizers have thought of everything. You'll see all manner of flying machines from people who strap engines on their backs and anything else you can think of. If it rains just think, it could be sunny back home at work!

Thanks,
