I've not been to Oshkosh on the first weekend, always later in the week.

Can you walk around looking at planes (for free) on Saturday 23rd and
Sunday 24th? Show opens on Monday, July 25th. When do they start charging
'gate admission' at Oshkosh?

What's open/available the first weekend vs. what's not up and running
until Monday? Food vendors comes to mind.

BTW, in your experience, what is the best place to watch the landings on
the first weekend?


In years past passes were required on the day prior to opening day but not
the day before that one. The passes were dated for both days, so while a
pass was required there was no additional cost if you were going to attend
opening day.
