EAA Air Venture 2016

I am game for a flocking of the Eagles, not sure enough are going to be more than a small gaggle...

I plan to attend the first half of the week.  So, if anyone is counting, add two or three more to any gathering that is planned.

I'll be attending for the first time.  Mon-Thurs.  Can't wait to see some eagles up close. Flying (commercial) into MKE and renting a car.  Staying at the U. Wisconsin at Oshkosh.  NON-A/C room. Any suggestions on things I might need to pick up on the drive up to the University?  Some say the NON-A/C rooms can get hot.  Maybe pick up a fan?  That portable ultralight folding chair that was posted looks like a good idea.

Not sure what to expect, just looking forward to a week of aviation!

Hey @914pete, I stayed at the Uni in 2014, great venue with a ton of like minded people. It is pretty basic accommodation, but thats all you need after a day of foot slogging. when you turn the lights out it all looks the same . It does get a bit warm so if you can grab a fan from somewhere that would be a good idea.  I traveled from Australia so next time i will order a cheap fan from Amazon and have it delivered prior and than maybe donate it to charity on departure.

There is no TV in the room but they have good Wifi.

Have fun, i hope to be back next year

I am flying my XL over from Sheboygan ,which is 50 miles east of OSH.  I have a total of 6 hours right now, most bugs worked out.  I hope a lot of planes make it. I will be there all week.  I am flying like nuts to get better at spot landings. Really having fun!!

any dates- times- or locations estimated?

[Bob Wood]

I plan on flying over the week before the show and hangering in a friends hanger until I get there Monday. I will be there all week, and flt home Sunday evening weather permitting. I live an hour away so not a big deal for me. My biggest hurtle is feeling confident behind the stick ,and getting all my bugs out by then...

It will be interesting to see if they let me fly over to join the UL pattern or taxi all the way from the North end of OSH to the Red Barn!!

Does anyone have a website or phone no. For Relleumtdat Campground. Do they take reservations or is it private camping. Thanks, Brad V.

 Ed Stadtmueller, 3673 Waupun Rd, phone 920-235-5702.  There is absolutely no need to call they never run out of space.  They own all the way to U.S. 41.

It is strictly first come first served.  The only bum rush is for the campsites nearest the road.  However many of them are way too close to the porta Johns... 


If you are tent camping, there is a fence row I like several rows back, that is near enough to the porta potties and affords extra safety from being run over in your sleep.   Bring ear plugs...  People sit up and talk, and run generators.
