It's funny -- I've had several people who stayed in the dorms come to me,

Lost your tent??? Wow! As in "...where did our tent go?"???


As wet as the week was, I still wouldn't have traded places with you.
To be
able to wake up on the field each morning and see 11,000 airplanes parked
wingtip-to-wingtip, as far as the eye can see -- man, there's nothing
else
like it.

When it comes to Oshkosh, I'm drip-dry!


Me, too! I tried staying the dorms the last 2 years after getting
thoroughly soaked in my tent 3 years ago, but I missed waking up on the
field. There's nothing like it. I got soaked in my tent again this year,
but I'll be back for another soaking next year.

I kinda miss the guy that used to yodel on the PA system in the early
morning, though (what happened to that?), and the the guy that used to
fire up his AT6 the second the airport opened in the morning. I didn't
hear either of those this year.

Remove SHIRT to reply directly.
