it myself. What is the most important thing to expereince?


It really depends on your personal interests. Since you posted to
homebuilt I'll guess you will want to spend some time up there talking
to builders and looking at their baby books. I hang out down in
Vintage. The ultralights are always fun (sign up for a 6am
manufacturers sale flight in a powered parachute!). The seaplane base
is a great escape (although I haven't made it there in years). The main
show is of course great... I hope you plan to spend the entire week :-)

Since you'll be there so many days, I'd plan activities around any
forums you want to hear. Get the schedule off of the airventure.org site.

On my first visit back at the first named "AirVenture (R)" we drove into
the site. Coming off the highway I looked at all the vehicles parked
along Rwy 9-27 and commented "Wow! Look at all the cars parked there."
As we got closer I noticed "Hey! Those aren't cars."

I was there for 4 days, and spent the first 3 days just walking around
seeing what was there. I then realized that we had walked by almost
everything, but hardly spent time at any one thing. There were some
speakers and workshops I would have liked to attend during those days
that were no longer available.

There's an incredible brain trust on that airport that week. Take
advantage of it. I would especially take time to hear Hoover,
Crossfield, Yeager, Anderson, etc. speak. They won't be around forever.
Make sure don't miss hearing them in your lifetime. Adm. Stockdale
spoke there a couple years ago with his absolutely fascinating military
story. He's no longer with us.
