The 2006 Oshkosh Bound posters, the Ripon-Fisk-Oshkosh graphic procedures,
and a couple of "wallpaper" graphics of the Oshkosh sectional are posted
with a click from:

I noticed that the signs on your website indicate that they should be
printed in various colors, but the ones on the Airventure NOTAM site
don't indicate any colors.

Did the color coding go out of use, or do I find that information
elsewhere.

Thanks,

Eric - you'll find the color of paper on which to print the sign(s)
noted in the small instructional print - either at the bottom of the
"fill-in-the-blank" area or at the bottom of the sign itself.

My bet is that not many will pay attention to the paper color, and still do
OK. The MOST important thing is that your sigh should be a full page of
paper, and the letters should be solid, and as large as possible and still
fit on the page.

The guy trying to read the sign wants to be able to read what it says from a
great distance back, through your window, with the sun glaring off of it, so
he can point you in the right direction. The problem comes when people
realize they don't have a sign, and at the last moment take a pencil and
scribble the letters 4 inches high, and then get mad when you make them
stop, or point them in the wrong direction. Get it? g

Looks like big block letters on a white background...
Looks like Jim's are all dated from last year. Did something change?

Looks like you noticed something.

Jim (I'm guessing) got his from EAA last year, and they were trying the
colors. I did not notice many people using the colors last year, so they
probably just gave up on colors for this year, since nobody used them,
anyway.

Have you considered adding VFR and IFR cards to the downloads for
aircraft departing?

I've looked on the airventure site again and I still find no mention of
using colors for the signs. Can anyone who thinks colors should be
used, send a reference to where those instructions come from? I recall
seeing people using colored signs in the past but couldn't find
anything relevant to this year...

Thanks,
Eric

I'm looking page 1 of the NOTAM right now, and I still don't see any
mention of colours for the signs. What drugs are you on?

enjoy it. -- Eric Merkel
