Default Re: The Oshkosh thread

I'll be there for the whole shebang. It's a blast, though flying in and out of Whitman while giving demos is insane.

Amen! I was sleeping under a Cessna wing during the HUGE Monday night storms last year. My 2 person, 4 season backpacking tent held up great in the 50 knot winds, but there were a lot of broken Walmart tents and wet people in the North 40 by the time morning came. Bring cheap camping gear and you won't be happy . . .
