Dummies Guide to flying to Oshkosh

Any pointers to websites or message board records would be greatly
appreciated.

Go to "Google Groups" and search on "Oshkosh." You'll find a gazillion tips
about flying into "The Big One."

(And "FYI" we throw a "rec.aviation" party at our campsite in the North 40
every year. Admission is either (a) a 6-pack of good beer, or (b) you buy a
round at Friar Tucks! Watch here for more info about it as we get
closer...)

One, read and understand the NOTAR, and read it again. Two, practice your
spot landings, and try to do them with speeds higher than you would like,
and lower than you would like. Three, practice your overhead approaches,
with keeping them really tight.

I was waiting for "Four, don't bring Lite Beer!"

Jay, if you keep telling the neophytes that, we won't have anyone buying
for us at Friar Tuck's.
Remember, unwritten rules are "unwritten" for a reason.

I actually don't get much of a chance to drink, at Osh. A lite might even
taste good! :-) I am there with the aviation explorers, in the camp next to
the Cap'ies. You know, with the red and white striped tent? I will make it
a point to find you one night, since the north 40 is just a hop skip and
jump away....

Actually, Montblack and I are working on a better plan for this year, which
will include a cookout on-site, rather than walking to dinner later.

Last year we all got so toasted (long, hot day + no food + lots of free beer
= Big Trouble) that by the time we stumbled over to Friar Tuck's, everyone
was pretty well done for the night!
