5 miles vis in the Midwest in the summer is 2 1/2 miles to the left and
2
1/2 miles to the right. Depending on where the sun is sometimes you can
see
what is up ahead.

And "Oshkosh VFR" is 1.5 mile in each direction!

:-)

The weather for our trip home on Monday was darned-close-to-perfect, and
we
saw no rain and few clouds all the way to Iowa City. (That system you
were
waiting for just sat over Des Moines, 100 miles west, all day long, thank
goodness...)

You really should try OSH again someday.

Jay...don't know who you are responding to but we spent 9 days at OSH.
Spent 40 or so hours volunteering in KidVenture. I have departed a couple
of times in 'OSH' VFR. Once the entire 18/36 taxiway was full two wide of
departing traffic. They shut down VFR departures due to low ceiling and bum
vis. It got near airshow time and the options were to re-park several
hundred airplanes or cancel the airshow due to us being on the taxiway. All
of a sudden the ceiling and vis 'improved' and we were on our way.
