If you want a "taste of Oshkosh", go to the AOPA Fly-in at FDK. I think
it was
in 2002 that FDK became the second busiest airport in the country for that
one
day, right behind ATL and ahead or ORH. I think the weather was IFR for
2003,
but I may be off by a year.

Having been into Oshkosh during the airshow a number of times, I can tell
you the AOPA
fly-in is a scarey nightmare. Unlike Oshkosh where you have a few pilots
and a lot of
controllers/ground crew who have a clue, you have none of these at the AOPA
expo.
You get a bunch of people who haven't even pretended to read the NOTAM,
talking
over top of each other, unable to follow directions etc....

Don't let the AOPA flyin scare you out of flying to Oshkosh.
