    AirVenture 2019: Facts and Figures

    Ah, that's the part I missed - "and other airports in east-central Wisconsin." I need to read complete sentences.

    AirVenture 2019: Facts and Figures

    So help me make sense of this: "More than 10,000 aircraft arrived at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh and other airports in east-central Wisconsin. At Wittman alone, there were 16,807 aircraft operations in the 11-day period from July 19-29". If more than 10,000 arrived, but there were only...

    We had a FABULOUS time at our first HOPS party in our first visit to Oshkosh! Thank you Mary and Jay for hosting such a terrific event! One of the highlights of the week for us.

    #OSH19 Jambalaya and Chili Party - Tuesday

    So was it the site that was flying the ALPA flags out front? That was what we saw at that location and thought it was an airline pilots function. Should have probably asked.

    #OSH19 Jambalaya and Chili Party - Tuesday

    We tried to find it, but never having been to Oshkosh before and not knowing where Camp Bacon was (and neither did anyone we asked), the directions provided at the beginning of this thread did not allow us to locate it. We found the intersection of Forest Home and Lindbergh, but 48th street was...

    Do you hangar when traveling?

    No, but you didn't add any information about hangars, just a statement that "my airplane" didn't apply to you. I just didn't see where that added any value to the dialog and wondered why you felt compelled to post to the thread. That's just my take, though. You certainly don't need my consent...

    Do you hangar when traveling?

    Well, you know there is not a requirement that you respond to posts that don’t apply to you, right? I’ve generally been quoted rates of around $50/ night the few times I’ve asked (only had plane since Dec). If it is for one night and no severe weather, I’m ok with it outside with my canopy cover.

    80 year old student pilot wins AOPA Super Cub

    Not sure what his ability is to foot the tax bill that will be due on his winning that without liquidating it, either.

    Flight Following to Pvt Airport

    I live on a private airstrip. Always have to tell ATC the airport identifier (32GA) but also that it's 12 mi SW of next closest public airport identifier (3J7). Last time coming in on flight following, when cancelling FF, ATC asked me to keep my transponder on assigned code until landing as...

    Oshkosh Mass Arrivals

    This will be my first time flying in to OSH. Planning to arrive early Sun morning. I see that the Cirrus mass arrival is scheduled for 8am. If I'm over Fisk at 7 or 7:15am, will I be OK getting in before the mass arrival? Also, does the mass arrival still follow the Ripon/Fisk approach pattern?

    Your Invitation to the 17th Annual H.O.P.S. Party in the North 40

    I'm in the same situation as Andrew (except I will have my wife with me). Looking forward to making some new friends. Thanks for doing this Jay & Mary. I've read about this with jealousy for the past 4 years, and now I finally get to go.

    Are we doing this on 6/29?

    Are any banks financing Experimentals?

    You'll probably have better luck doing this as either a HELOC or an unsecured personal loan.
