There were actually fewer support vehicles this year. If it weren't for
them there would be no OSH. Give volunteering a try and you might
understand the need a little better. The rule is no one under 16 or 18
(can't remember which) drives a vehicle. Just having spent 9 days at OSH I
can't say I ever saw the rule violated.

I was able to get my family to OSH again this year (usually its a "guy's
trip"). We had a great time and enjoyed all parts. But, as usual, I do
have some gripes. Number one of those a Did anyone else notice a
marked increase in the number of vehicles running around the flightline?

I know that logistical trucks (ice, food, gas, trams, etc) should be
expected. But I was constantly having to get out of the way of someone in
a minivan, scooter, gator or golf cart. My daughter was almost ran over
by a 14 year old in a golf cart. What gives? To me, once the show starts
(this would exclude Sunday's setup day), the vendors shouldn't need more
transportation than the average joe.

I had figured that it was "just me", until I had some guy in a mini-van
honk at me as I was walking on Aeroshell Square. Needless to say, I
slowed down

Anyone else see this as a problem getting worse?
