Default Oshkosh attendance

For me, OSH is out of the question this year. With so many costs up,
flat income, and the cost of fuel so high, it is just not in the
cards. I am wondering if there are others in the same boat.

EAA carefully guards attendance figures but for those that are there,
what does it look like? Lots of open aircraft parking spaces and thin
crowds?


I worked Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday mornings. It was the
lightest arrival traffic I've ever seen in my 25 years as a controller.
There wasn't even a significant amount of VFR arrivals.
