Oshkosh questions

In 1973, it started on a Wednesday and finished the following Tuesday (in
my admittedly senior brain's recollection).

I started attending in 1982, but I never stayed the full length of the show,
so that memory is pretty fuzzy for me, too. Didn't the convention used to
be eight days long?

And we could still arrive after dark!
It was fun watching the string of landing lights 20-30 deep inbound.

Approximately 10 minutes per 1/4-inch thickness at 425F.
Works for steaks, fish, chicken and pork.
Depending on just how hot the grill is, the time can be adjusted 1 or 2
minutes either way.

Steaks? Did someone say "steaks"? I'm always up for steaks, although
getting them cooked to everyone's liking is always a challenge. Jim, does
that monster grill have a "steak setting"??

But it was not fun (or safe) trying to park those airplanes after
dark...
The sunset "dead prop" rule is in effect for good reason! (although I
hear people sneaking in or out on occasion).

I've seen, no, heard people blasting out early, but never in. When was the
last time you heard of someone sneaking in?

Me, neither.

We watched some poor guy get turned away entering DOWNWIND for Rwy 27, when
the clock ticked over to 8 PM. The guy was practically *begging* to be
allowed to land, but no dice. (I personally thought this was a ridiculous
abuse of power, and would have had some pretty severe words with the control
tower supervisor, had it been me.)

We were all rooting for him to declare "bingo fuel"...
