kangaroos, monkeys, whatever they got down there will work!*
Ok then, noted — I’ll speak for myself and a few others that I’m 100% sure don’t give a hoot if they have to park non-experimentals in HBC/HBP. Spoiler alert — I know for a fact they have before because I’ve seen them and I’m not talking about the ones that get parked on the hard stand at the end of Papa next to the pavilion.
I would agree with the underlined. I have seen it too. My main point was that if it ever becomes a free for all with no checks it would not be good in the long run and that exceptions often don't end at exceptions.
I do like the fact that there are separate parking areas for specific categories, and don’t condone a free-for-all first come first serve system, but I’m also not opposed to accepting overflow. The original question was about masquerading as E-AB and I still think if the marshallers allowed it most folks in HBC/HBP really wouldn’t care.I would agree with the underlined. I have seen it too.

Probably?
I wonder what the percentage of those parking in homebuilt are actually the builder? Possibly at that particular event it’s quite high. Generally speaking, I think it’s quite low. Even in my EAA chapter, we have lots of builders but few own the aircraft they built.
Ya I think you are correct. My EAA chapter has very few builders, at Osh though, it seems almost everyone I talk to was the builder. Still a lot of non-builders there for sure though
Announcement went out at 6:30 this morning that the schedule is final. So anyone interested in starting to put together their plan can start doing so.
I would guess that a lot of people who are walking around would laugh.
I know I laughed pretty hard when the B-52 in Boeing Plaza a few years ago had a Vintage sign on it!I think the reg probably* says something to the effect that an experimental aircraft must have the experimental markings. However, I'm not aware of a reg that says a non-experimental aircraft may not wear those markings.
Up until the last couple of years I was always camped near the South African compound - I'm presuming you'll be traveling as part of that group? They *definitely* have a lot of fun. And I'll also warn you that after you're done, you may find that it's no longer once in a lifetime and you have to come back as many times as possible.
I know/knew ( ) people who would come every year or two from NZ, SA, and other faraway places.
We drove to Oshkosh several years as my plane was being restored after the engine failure.
From what I can find on the EAA Forums, it seems there is no difference unless you're North of the Hangar Cafe, which you won't be. We're supposed to put a tag on our tents, but I've never put one on mine and have had no issues.
DeKalb seems to be a common stop.
KUNU worked well when I had to divert for the night trying to get into KOSH in 2018. Lots of people in the same boat and a quick flight in from there.
02c capital drive is in the western suburbs of Milwaukee, walkable to Culver’s, Uber to hotel, can pitch a tent if you want.
Vintage has been steadily removing the parking-only area. That's a good thing in my opinion. I've been complaining to the parking guys and the board ever since I started parking down there.
The main issue, for me, is not the driving is that the Airplane campground seems to be Much Nicer than Camp Scholler. Last two years I was airplane camping and it seemed fine.
Wait til you show up later and get stuck camping with your plane in the South 40, with a 2 mile walk each way or a 30 minute wait on a bus ride.
Depends where you camp. In my case, I camped with our local EAA chapter and it was a nice little hive of folks and did breakfast with them before heading out for the day.
I always wondered what that area was! Looks very nice in the shade of the trees! I'm a volunteer, but I camp with my plane.
I'm imagining this with a series of cards.
This was my experience, I was all the way down by the last shower house in scholler last year, and I rode my bike past an awful lot of half a million dollar+ rigs to get to my pickup with an air mattress in the bed. So the refugee camp comment may have been directed at my site specifically… lol!
Me too. Want me to come to wherever you end up camping and do my forum presentation just for you?

Yeah, fair point. There is probably some basic physics principle that would exclude it anyway.Thanks, but no. Then the area would be too crowded.!!
So Pauli can't come either?
