    Oshkosh and the weather

    Thinking about going this time if I can get a decent flight into Milwaukee.
    If you like air shows, this is the one to see.
    I am trying to think if I was there in 2013...I skipped a year in there somewhere, but you are right, it is a crap shoot when it comes to what kind of weather you will get. I was there in the late 80's when it was near triple digits, camped for 6 nights and it SUCKED! The last night we were there, a cold front moved through and cooled things off, but all I recall from that year was stadning in lines to refill my water bottle, and looking for shade.

    I have weathered a few thunderstorms while over there, and last year my buddy and I rode in 7 hours of HEAVY rain ALL the way over there. We recovered by drinking beer and other adult beverages until way too late....made Sunday a tough way to walk around and look at airplanes

    I live about 50 miles east of Oshkosh and I only when once. Maybe 30 years ago.
    I will see a lot of planes flying over head. I don't plan on going this year. As far as weather next week sounds cooler. Have fun and enjoy the show.

    I'd love to go. Was planning on making a combination Oshkosh / Sturgis trip out of it all.


    Alas.....just can't afford it.
