I think you are referring to Michelin AirStop tubes. Pricey but worth it.

I fully agree, I have had Michelin AirStop tubes on my bird for over two
years - sure nice not having to top-off the air every few months. But, they
do cost half the price of a good tire, so not cheap.

I had a Cessna 180 for 10 years and the small tailwheel tire would seep the
air pressure down over a short perion of time. I filled it with
"Fix-A-Flat " and it would hold the pressure for a looong time. I think the
same
would work with the RV tires - what can you lose ?? You would buy the
expensive tubes anyway !!

I have had good experiences at every airport I have used in Northern CO and Southern
WY.
However, I usually stop at Greely KGXY, restraint and SS gas, Clinb up toLarime
KLAR cross WY to Rock Springs KRKS, Coss the Mountains, terrain 9,000, to
Bear Lake 1U7 or lower terrain at Evanston, North to Soda Springs U78. From
there through the pass west over Bancroft U51 to Blackfoot U02 or continue North
to Idaho Falls KIDA. The pass at Pocatello KPIH has a dog leg I prefer not
to fly.
I recommend going on north toe Driggs KDIJ for lunch. Then flying over KAOC
will place you over Craters of The Moon as You fly by the entrance to Sun Valley.
Twin Falls and Nampa also has a cafeteria.
Awhile back there was a thread about flying over the Rockies from east to
west, to get to someplace like Portland. I have misplaced that series of
emails. I'm about to fly from NC to Portland and would like to revisit that
discussion. I believe someone said to just follow I-80 or I-90 or something
similar. Any specific route planning would be helpful as a starting point,
thanks.

I wouldn't blame them for charging for this service once it works well as it
clearly is an extra. But good gosh why do they expect a camping person to
pay extra for the shuttle to get to the entrance gate? I paid 350 bucks to
camp and go to the show and yet they can't provide a reasonable shuttle
service to the main gate? Lets see... 10,000 campers and 600,000
admissions.. I think they could do a shuttle service for free.
I have seen no evidence either to support change when things don't work.
This is the biggest fly-in anywhere and there are many things that have not
kept up in their planning and implementation. Besides being asked to pay
for shuttle, it really isn't very effective. They make no adjustments for
the changing of the traffic such as in the morning when everyone is going to
the gate versus at night when they come back to the campground. I am no
traffic engineer, and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express, but I
definitely could do a better job of setting up shuttle services.
I don't dare complain to the volunteers who spend so much time doing what
they can. I for one appreciate them greatly, and EAA could not put this
together without them. I would love to have input to the management who has
lost touch but I really think it would be a wasted breath.
Enjoy the good and throw out the rest.
By the way.. Why is it still called (E)AA? I am pretty sure the "E" has
become silent.

Does anyone on the list have any personal experience with owning/using
the Flight Cheetah FL190 GPS? If so, what is your general overall
impression and would you recommend it.

Here's a somewhat relevant example of another large spectator event.
In another life, I worked for several years at a major music festival.
Attendance was somewhat similar to OSH, with 40k to 60k people per day.
Entry fees were (and are) similar to OSH. There was no camping &
therefore no burden of shower setup, but there was no camping revenue
and the difficulties with cleanup & security were many, many times
greater with tens of thousands of drunks dropping their trash every day.
It was run by a non-profit corp. Every person working, from security to
ticket takers to sound & light companies to the literally thousands of
performers, got paid, and paid well. When the last cleanup guy left &
the books were balanced each year, a hefty sum (the 'profits') went to
local cultural & arts causes. As far as I know, that's still the case.
I've never been able to figure out where all the OSH money goes when
virtually every worker, including the performers & those bringing show
planes (except the security people) is a volunteer. (Yes, I know they
publish a report. The Feds publish a 'budget' every year, too.)

I haven't taken the bus (I have a parking spot in the media lot) this year, but
I've certainly taken the bus from camp before.What are they charging this year.
In the past there's always been a box next to the driver with a suggested donation
of 25 cents. I always put a dollar in becuase I was ashamed of my fellow passengers
who had no problem spending $30,000 for an instrument panel, but couldn't
fork over 25 cents for a bus ride.
