Flying to Fields near OSH

This gives me an idea for a service someone could offer.
Shuttle bus from OSH to Appleton or Fond Du Lac, meet inexperienced
pilot afraid of flying into OSH alone at one of those airports, and
help him/her fly the airplane into OSH.
Anyone doing this?

Thanks for the comments folks. I haven't had my licence long. I think I am
a reasonably good pilot (so does Transport Canada apparently) but I
recognize that I have little experience, that was one reason why I was
leaning toward flying into another field. The other reason is that I would
have more flexibility to leave when I need to, since I understand that OSH
is closed for the airshow each afternoon.

If you can hold altitude and airspeed, if you can follow logical and
orderly instructions, and can land on the numbers consistently (or say..
a colored dot).. then you would be best just to fly into OSH and camp
there..

Now.. if you CANT do the above.. by all means, good luck landing out.

But I would vote for camping on the north 40.. no place else compares.

OH, but I prefer the Antique/classic camping area. It has atmosphere
and...*shade* at least in a few places and is more centrally located.

Now if you need a plane that has modern performance, lots of room, and
comfortable, but will still get you in there, I have a relatively low
time (less than 4000 hours TT) 1959 Beech Debonair (first off the
assembly line) that I'd sell for a slightly exorbitant price.
Collectors item and all that...yah know:-)) Course I really don't
want to part with it so the price would have to be *really* high.

I unexpectedly have the opportunity to fly to Airventure for a few days. A
friend who has done this before has recommended that I fly to a field near
OSH rather than right in to Wittman Regional. I will be flying around the
north end of Lake Michigan.

Do you have any recommendations for which field I should use? I assume I
would plan to camp with my plane if possible. Does that make sense when
based away from OSH?
