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

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.

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

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.

Is it in the NOTAM?

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?

Using vi is kind of like having sex. The first time to use it, it's kind
of awkward, but after using for a while you start to get good at it and
enjoy it. -- Eric Merkel

Ok, I hate to be a pain in the a** about this, but I had read the
airventure site and the NOTAM multiple times prior to my initial
posting and there is nothing I can find about colored signs. If I'm
missing something then I'd really appreciate someone giving specific
information on where this information is.

I've included the text from the NOTAM page 1:
http://www.airventure.org/2006/flying/notam06.pdf

"Pilots landing at OSH should have a sign to designate
their intended parking or camping area. The
sign should have large dark letters readable from at
least fifty feet. It can be hand made or printed from
www.airventure.org/atc/arrival_signs.html. Display
the sign in the left side of your windshield after landing
and use one of the following codes" (the pictures of the signs follow
this text)

Neither this text or the link to the online signs has anything about
colors. I could definitely be missing something, but so far I'm not
convinced that they are using anything beyond white signs with big
block letters...

Thanks,
Eric

Sorry, page one has the current sign codes, but not colors required (or even mentioned). I suffered from thread
overload...

Try to keep up!!! g

You're the one not keeping up.

That bit was supposedly on Jim Wier's site, from last year's arrival
procedures.

Look at the quoted text that you trimmed out obviously without reading.
Somebody asked why Jim Weir's site says to use coloured signs, and asked
if the use of colours is documented in the NOTAM. This "Blueskies" guy is
on drugs, because he said "Yes, it's in the NOTAM on page 1" and provided
a link to the NOTAM where it's totally obvious that there is no reference
to coloured paper.
