I think many of us are involved in other facets of aviation. I
personally enjoy the opportunity to see "everything aviation" at a single
event, as I don't have the time or budget to attend numerous "product
specific" venues. The crowds are certainly a hassle, but they
handle them well. John HallSan Antonio TXRV-8 N550PJ

Well said John,
Also don't forget if the cost of producing the event didn't get spread
amongst the many vendors then those vendors that you want to see and talk to
might not be able to afford the cost of being there. I personally don't have
much more than a passing interest in war birds and the varied certified
airplanes that attend, but a lot of the ticket buyers come just to see those
and again that spreads the cost of the event to make it affordable for
everyone.

Airventure 2006 was the first time I had ever been to Osh
Kosh. And honestly if there we're only experimental aircraft there I
believe I would have been bored with it. Even though I am building one.
If it was only experimental they would probably want to call it
something like "the ultimate RV fly-in" for obvious reason's )). As it
was I spent an entire week and still did'nt see and do all I wanted to.
I believe you are correct about the big dollar boy's hoisting
most of the bill. I even visited the Ford automobile tent for a bit and
enjoyed it even though it had nothing to do with aviation. I also
enjoyed looking at all the certified aircraft venders and getting some
ideas for my experimental from them. Heck even some of the dog and pony
show's in the big hangers we're interesting and I'm sure the rent they
paid helped to keep the cost down for us adventurer's. I spent a lot of
time taking classes and listening to lecture's on expimental aviation
related interests in the Poly Fiber forum's. To me that was worth the
cost of admission and the rest was just icing on the cake.
All & all even though Osh is'nt exactly experimental
aircraft only it is very informative and enteratining. The only thing I
would really want to see changed about it is more transportaion getting
around on site. Wow my feet, legs, back are still killing me. All that
excercise is hard on old fat men like me ))))). Maybe what is needed is
to start another experimental ONLY type of a deal somewhere in a middle
US state later in the year when the weather cools down. Say maybe
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Nebraska etc. to be more centrally loctated.

Hey Randy,
This comment may not be to well reseived, but here goes anyway.
I agree with the comment about the big underwriters. A major sell out that
Tom in my estimation is responsible for. I do not believe that it would have
occured under Paul's leadership.
On the issue of ground transport I take the opposite point of view. Having
attended for past quarter of a century it was much saner when everyone walked
and no one rode. All and I mean all vendors, and exhibitors parked off the
grounds.
Biased? Yes, but I remember it when.....You enjoy it more and cold beer
at the end of day tastes better when you know that you have been to the greatest
aviation event in the world bar none. I have flown aircraft to Fairnsbourogh
and the Paris airshows thanks to the DoD.
RV-8 builders are the friendliest and most anxious to assist people about.
Randy you are on a good track by suggesting an experimental gathering. You
know we really do need as much assistance and opportunity to meet as possible.
Respectfully,
Duane Leach
