I was parked past the "Welcome to Fond du Lac" sign last year...second to last row from the south fence. I haven't ever parked in the N40. For those who have done both, does everybody prefer the North?

I'll swing by if possible, but don't worry about food for me (Nebraska pilots meet & eat is right before this).

I got my ticket with @jesse 's outfit and an instructor who flew for Silverhawk. I think he'd echo everything said above. As a side note...thank you Jesse.

I'm selling my membership in Skyhawk Flying Club. Website with answers to all the FAQs here: https://www.skyhawkflyingclub.org/. Great club - only selling because I'm flying something else now. Shoot me a message if you're interested.

I will be first-timing it to OSH this year, planning to arrive on Wednesday evening. If this is happening I'd absolutely bring some hometown beer!

I've had that happen too, but in this case I took off below the Bravo and stayed under the shelf (as instructed) until I was completely clear of it. I never entered (and was never cleared to enter).
