Anyone going to the fly-inn and Airshow? Starts on Monday 7/24 through the week, ending on Saturday. Blue Angels will be on hand later in the week.
I have been going for the last twenty years or so, occasionally missing the event. I have taken the motorcycle about as many times as I have flown in. Wisconsin is a good ride, and they have Beer in Wisconsin, so it all works out. The event started off as a place homebuilders who were building airplanes via plans only...which was the only thing available at the time, to share safety tips and building techniques. As the gathering grew, the airshow became part of the event that now has over 3 hours of airshows by the big name performers every day.
If you like airplanes, especially warbirds, this is an excellent event. I plan on taking the F6B on her second trip to Oshkosh on Saturday 7/22. For me, it is a 460 mile day, about 2/3rd's is Interstate but some of the Interstate is not too bad, especially as I approach from the west and pass through LaCrosse WI. Plan on staying in Green Bay or Madison if you want a reasonably priced hotel. I have done that on occasion, but will be camping this year since the weather looks pleasant throughout most of the week.
