I'd think that would mean some really heavy traffic out of there
Sunday night.

Really doesn't matter when we start. There are always those that flyin or
drive in early to get the good spots and avoid the rush. We always have a
plane or three that need repair 3 days before the convention starts. There
are those that drive in and set up their camp when the camp grounds open on
July 1st.

I doubt it will be much different. Seems like the big thing is, that even
MORE will be gone before the weekend starts. I think it is a shame.

To clarify: I think it is a shame that so many leave so early.

I don't think there were more than a dozen planes on the field (for
the fly-in) the last time I flew over. Course I arrived over a week
early as one of the chairmen (computers in homebuilts) and worked.
After the first year I always arrived well before the ripon arrival
was active and that year I was IFR to a straight in on 27.

Dang, have you kept that information a secret, (computers in homebuilts) or
did I just miss it. I could have dropped in and met yet another one of
RAH's finest!

I love it! It's getting closer to MY utopia. I've always maintained
that it really should run Sunday through Saturday so that most people
would only have to take a week of vacation to see the ENTIRE show.
Plus, it would give drivers a chance to leave from either coast on
Friday after work and drive for maybe 6 hours without busting their
a$$e$. That puts you about 400 miles closer to Oshkosh already. Drive
all day Saturday and you could be into Oshkosh late Saturday. Might
have to take the following Monday as a "sick day" if you left on Sunday
morning for the return. So, in closing, I'm all for it!!

First time I went there, it started on Friday.

First time for me, I believe is started on a Friday and ended on the
following Saturday with a airshow for the town on the Sunday after the
close. But then 1971 was a long time ago.
