Dummies Guide to flying to Oshkosh

Please pardon if this has been discussed here, but I am planning to
fly to Airventure / Oshkosh with a pilot friend (both of us are
pilot,) and I have to imagine that some kind soul out there has
written a sort of dummies guide to what to do, go, bring, see, not
bring, avoid, etc.

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

We will be flying from Ct, (DXR) and in a 1979 PA-28-180

Thanks!

Go to www.avweb.com

Select "COLUMNS" from the left side

Select "RICK DURDEN"

He has written several articles in the past two years dealing
specifically with this subject.

Especially note the one entitled, "Hey you . . ." or something to that
effect. Very enlightening and memorable.

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.
