Oshkosh Lodging

[Eric Bartsch]

I'm looking for recommendations on lodging options for Wednesday the
26th to the Sunday the 30th of July for Oshkosh. This will be my 6th
Oshkosh so I'm very familiar with the show, but with family in the
region, we have always flown into Madison and commuted (by car
unfortunately) from there daily, so I know nothing about local lodging.

Since I'm now owner of a warbird, I figure I can more easily get
mid-week parking on the field, but this means figuring out lodging
nearby.

I'll be calling the convention bureau on Monday to see what is
available as far as dorms, etc... but I figured I'd get the collective
wisdom of the group first.

What are the options as far as ground transportation to various places
to stay? I know there are shuttles to the university dorms, but I'm not
sure about anywhere else.

Before anyone suggests it, camping is probably not an option (not
nearly enough space in the plane for the stuff).

I know I'm late in booking this but I didn't know I was going to be an
aircraft owner last Summer when it was the right time to be looking for
2006 lodging. Thanks in advance for any help.

Contact the Warbird people, they have all the best rooms locked up. They
will find a place for one of their own. :-))

Is there anyone specific at the EAA I should get in touch with? I would
imagine that rooms of any sort are hard to come by, especially for just
part of the week.

Call EAA membership 800-number and ask for the name and information for
the AirVenture Warbird Flightline Coordinator/Head Honcho.
