Oshkosh 2009
Just got back from EAA AirVenture. No problems getting in or out, no bag search. Completely uncluttered crowdline, ie no windbreaks, tents, ladders, and other paraphernalia. Plenty of toilets in all locations, most with handwashing facilities, no waiting in line. Drinking water available free of charge. No litter anywhere. Reasonable priced food in many areas. In short, a very well run event.

Re: Oshkosh 2009
Hi, First time poster. Since I live relatively close to Oshkosh, I thought it would be worthwhile to go to Airventure this year. My Dad and I liked it so much, that we bought a membership right on the spot, so that during the winter, we can visit the museum on the weekends. I'm kicking myself now, as I've lived in Wisconsin for years, and never attended. Next year, I'm hoping to go for more than two days, and I won't go on the last day, Sunday. Most of the static aircraft was gone, and the airshow was over run with very young kids that were doing anything (mostly acting obnoxious and loud), but watching the airshow. But I did get some Roaring Glory Warbirds DVD for a friend of mine, so it wasn't a complete washout of a day. I've also come to understand that the Saturday show is really worthwhile.
