We did make it to Osh.  The Caravan tent was finally raised in the dark and it is on the north side of Rnwy 09-27 at the Super 8 Gate.  We had one hour holds from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.   We started the

Strange, this is the picture he posted on the ALPA site.

JerryTJ and I will be there on Wednesday. FlyDave and Notarpilot I think will be there Tuesday or Wednesday as well. Anyone still there by Wednesday let me know and I will see if there is a time to meet up.

If Nancy can hold in there I'll be there at least through Wed night.

I think Byron's date might count as two. ;)

Ok, I'll start a Wednesday list. Before I do that, can someone explain how the tickets work? Jerry and I will be flying in sometime Wednesday afternoon. We planned on attending the show on Thursday and Friday so we won't have tickets for Wednesday. Are they collecting tickets through the evening or do they stop at some point? If we can't meet up at the show are there surrounding venues that we could?

Where do you plan to park? Are you camping? If you fly in and park/camp in the North 40 (use the GAC sign in the window on landing) you can hang out with us Wed evening and pick up tickets to the show on Thursday morning.  I'm not sure how it works flying in and parking in other areas, but you should be able to get into the North 40 without show tickets. We should be on the South side of Runway 09 right at the numbers.  There will be a big white tent with some Mooney flags flying and probably three or four rows of Mooney's parked.

We are staying in Appleton, not at the show. I will do some research to see if I can figure out if we can get into the area you are in without a ticket.

I took two weeks off to fly cross country.  Would like to stop at Oshkosh but I do not want to deal with the craziness.  I am considering landing at one of the nearby airports, renting a car and camping out on the North 40 if possible.  I am thinking of coming in on Sun and staying until about Wed.  Any recommendations?

Kgrb is a 45 min drive. Class C and everyone from the tower to the people at Executive air are very friendly. There is also daily bus transportation to osh

any questions about the area, let me know. I have lived here for 56 years.

Hopefully the snow will be melted by the time you all arrive:)

I guess I'm not cool enough for the list. I'll just have to take my cachaca elsewhere then. :)

The offer still stands. I'll bring two coolers with me, one for hydration and another for intoxication!

I plan on flying in from Massachusetts Monday.  I can be a tentative for Monday 6pm if I arrive on time.  Otherwise, I plan on leaving Thursday so could also meet on Tues or Wed.

John, are you camping in Oshkosh? I really want to see your aircraft. We have an almost identical paint scheme I believe. I will add you to the list

Anyone here flying from Florida? I'm interested in what route you are taking and if you have any suggestions for fuel stops along the way. I already picked out a route but my fuel stop is just the closest airport roughly 4 hours from departure.

I'm planning to fly in on Monday the 25th and be at the Caravan BBQ on the 26th. Most likely I'll be parked on the north 40 somewhere. Tail number is N205VV. Hope to see you there.
