Earth to "bd5er", the ratio of "non-aviation commercial BS" to
aviation related stuff at Oshkosh is EXCEEDINGLY SMALL.

Earth to David: Can you count. Last time I attended I could walk down an
entire row in the flymart and not see a single aviatiion related booth.
The
ratiio of aviation to BS HAS changed over the last 20 years. If I want
all
that other BS I'll just attend the local county fair.

Understand this, the show will NEVER return to those lazy good ol'
days of yore when homebuilts were the biggest part of the show.

Then I may never return. Homebuilts is why I went. If that is not the
main
attraction I'm not going to waste my time. Large numbers of people is not
really my "thing" but if they were there to talk HOMEBUILDING, and not
plug
the isle up in front of the waterless cookware demo, than the more the
better.

Because osh is so big, you can make anything out of it that you want to. If
the homebuilts are your thing, only look at the houmebuilt related things.
I'll still bet you could spend at least 3 days there, and not see all there
is to see. If warbirds are your thing, only look at the warbirds,,, and so
on.

Bottom line- go if you want, don't if you don't want - but....
Quit yer bitchin!!! You aren't going to change what is!

Think the serenity prayer.
