I have an annual beer, pizza & brats party to attend on Tuesday, but don't let that stop everyone else.

Wednesday evening is also the world gathering of Cessna 180/185, so Tuesday sounds good.......................

I had no idea people like you existed and now I've learned of two in as many days. lol!

My midwestern sweet corn yesterday was delicious and I was glad to eat the extra piece my friend didn't want.

Wait......What?

I know, right?

There is a strong contingent of BCPers that will be in the Vintage area. Come by and see us!

New Holstein is Wednesday night.

Maybe we can connect on Tuesday. Othewise see you there! Black and White Skywagon will be in a holding pattern...

I will be somewhere in Vintage as well, hopefully I get a good spot. Probably arriving on Sunday afternoon, then over to New Holstein Wednesday.
FYI, fuel is down to $4.32 at KEFT (Monroe, WI) which is just a bit south of Madison. A good place to pick up fuel before heading into Oshkosh.

I am in envy of you guys that are going this year. I don't think I have missed a year or two in over 25 years. Unfortunately this year is a year I will be missing.
I'm still baffled that someone doesn't like sweet corn....I think you better get checked...something just isn't right!

You're not the first to think I am nuts--but usually it doesn't have anything to do with sweet corn.

There is stuff every night. Most notably, lots of stuff.

Yup. I currently only have one evening free. Let the double booking begin!

Same here Kevin.

Lots of changes in 22 years. Be sure to download and print the NOTAM--lots of good info in it, and it's mandatory. It can be downloaded to an iPad, also, but having both in print and downloaded is a good idea. https://www.eaa.org/~/media/files/airve ... 3-2015.pdf

Thanks for the reminder Cary. I've been meaning to download that.

My "northern" route, Greeley-Luverne-LaCrosse-Oshkosh, is maybe 3 minutes quicker, but it would take me into all that military activity, which I totally avoid on the "southern" route. Then I'll be there all week, most likely staying in the North 40.

As always, I'm looking forward to it. I have several friends I see only during OSH, and that's always fun. I love the night airshows, and I've enjoyed the walk-in movies and evening concerts. I understand Gary Senise's "Lt. Dan Band" will be there again, and his music covers everything from WWII to the present--something for everyone. And of course, there's new friends to meet in the camping areas, or at the various eateries, or along the way to and from. All good fun.

We'll be going KFNL(Foco-Love) -> KMCW(Mason City) -> OSH (gotta love the extended tanks on our rented Arrow)

We'll keep an eye out for the colorado flag and stop on by!

Return trip is OSH -> KOFK (Norfolk Regional) - KFNL - KBJC (Return the plane)

Just make sure you arrive in the OSH area with plenty of fuel. Depending on the day and time, you may go directly in on the RIPON-FISKE route, or you may be held at one of the lakes. One year, my buddy and I went around Green Lake for about 45 minutes, and I was very glad that I always fill up at either Dubuque or LaCrosse, depending on which route I take. Each of them is about an hour out.
