Putting money into aviation is like wiping before you poop....it just don't make sense!

"No side by side, no under and over!"

Keep your eyes and ears open, and don't talk on the radio. Read the NOTAM.

High-wing is better than low-wing. Get a blue plastic tarp, tie it down over a wing, and put your tent under it so the tent stays dry.

Enjoy the smell of the porta-potties in the hot sun, hope that your shower water isn't too cold (bring flip-flops), try not to get sunburned (bring sunblock and a hat), bring comfortable walking shoes and have a beer at Friar Tuck's!

First went to OSH about 20 years ago. Next time I go, I'm gonna be in the show :wink:
