Goodness that is difficult to watch. Thing was practically flying sideways before it snapped over. I watch stuff like this to learn. But man... just knowing the sheer terror those people felt in those last seconds makes my stomach turn.

I've definitely not been refreshing this forum and the EAA forum every 10 minutes at all... packing starts tonight!

I'm in the STL area (not flying, for now :( - I really need to change that), and saw the post on FB. Sickening. If we have some STL folks headed up to OSH, perhaps checking the Fly Market? Don't know if someone would be so brazen as to sell stuff at OSH shortly after stealing it, but who knows.

I will DEFINITELY be there. I will probably bring a batch cocktail and some guac and chips. And me. Because I am awesome.

Well, theoretically, that's what the orange section is for.

New Camp Scholler map for 2019 is up. https://www.eaa.org/-/media/Files/AirVenture/PlanYourTrip/Camping/2019CampSchollerMap.ashx Getting hard to do anything but bring a fully self-contained unit to Scholler any more.

I'll be there LATE Friday before the show, and I'll be there for the whole shebang. Need help?

NEW BEST FRIENDS!

No such thing!

I come prepared for both... because, as you know, Tuesday you might fall asleep in your own pool of sweat, and Wednesday you are wondering just how unsafe it is to start a fire in your tent o_O

The only rule change so far is the one related to site size. It's really ambiguous now, which... well, it will be interesting to see how people take it. It's either going to be great, or an utter **** fest with people doing mass land grabs. Enforcement should be interesting. Otherwise, I'm not...

It can get a little stuffy, but otherwise it's usually fine. I've tented the past several year with no cooling at all and it's been okay. I'm renting a popup this year, so I'm bringing a battery-operated fan (the one from Ridgid, since I'm already bought into their battery-operated tools).

I've tented at Camp Scholler a few times now, and have been camping for a LONG time. First things first: prep your tent. Weeks before you actually come here. Like... maybe this weekend, weather permitting. The first thing you will want to do is thoroughly weatherproof it. Go to your nearest REI...

After missing a year, I'm stupidly excited to make it again for the full meal deal this year. Looking forward to making some new friends! See you at the HOP!

This whole thread makes me weep. I'd love to be able to afford a decent used airplane. And here we have these poor saps just rotting away. Incredible.

It's a shame they can't temporarily upgrade KOSH Class D to B for the week. They wouldn't be allowed in unless given explicit permission. Only way to know how to get permission is to study the NOTAM.

Every single time I fly a US3, I'm reminded of why I hate flying on any of the US3. I've recently taken an AA767 flight from ORD to CDG, and one to FRA. Since the price difference between coach and first for the round trip for two for each trip amounted to the cost of a really nice used car, we...

Yoiks. That is definitely no bueno.

I sat through two forums at OSH17 that specifically mentioned that VFR into IMC is still a huge issue. A big part of that is because pilots using the latest and greatest are treating the information as if it is current... and it isn't. It can be up to about 10 minutes old, but pilots are...

I've always really, really loved the look of Epic's aircraft. Sleek, sexy, fast... hubba hubba. Of course, an Epic is wildly out of my budget, so, really, basically ANY airworthy airplane is my dream plane, but I would gladly settle for one of these beauties... Edited to add: a Spartan...
