I need some advice from those of you who have had the thrill of attending
Oshkosh. This year for the first time, I will be going. Unfortunately, in a
car :-(. However, what I'm looking for is given that I will only be able to
attend 1 day maybe 2 at the outside, what should I focus on?
Well, clearly you'll want to attend the annual rec.aviation North 40
Party, which is always held on Wednesday night.
:-) See pix of the 2006 edition he

Admission is a 6-pack of good beer. Points are added if the beer is
opaque, while points are deducted if you can see through it. Bonus
points for local microbrews that folks don't normally get to sample.
Beyond that, you'll only be able to hit the high points, as one or two
days will only scratch the surface. A lot depends on your orientation
-- are you more into homebuilts, or warbirds? Classics or LSAs?
OSH has something for everyone, and you'll have time to MAYBE hit your
top one or two things...
But don't let that deter you. Soak it all in, and revel in it. This
will be our 25th consecutive OSH, and we STILL haven't seen
everything!
