Don't forget airport operations and airport management! I used to be in an Aviation Explorer member in high school and my first couple years of college where I was introduced to this profession. The leaders of this local Aviation Exploring post were airport managers where we would get a tour...

When are you planning on releasing your first episode?

I'm looking forward to listening your first episode! Should be interesting to hear those stories. What about ones who went from one aviation profession to another aviation profession, eg. ATC to airline pilot?

How was the night Airshow and fireworks display for Saturday this year vs Wednesday's? Better, worse, or the same? Are there any differences between those night airshows and fireworks? I only attended the Wednesday show.

This year was the first time I have been to AirVenture. I am curious to know how common do visitors attend AirVenture by themselves? Either way, next time I come back I am bringing someone with me.

It was great finally meeting you all last Tuesday! The jambalaya was delicious!

I’m gonna try to be there!

I received my wristbands last week! Also, I saw on UWO's Airventure website mentioning they recommend bringing a fan for the non-A/C dorms. I plan on packing light and would avoid getting a fan if possible. Does it get quite warm in the rooms at night and do the windows open? Anyone have...

Anyone have any issues with receiving their wristbands in the mail beforehand via the Express Arrival Program? Any chance you would you be able to get new ones onsite at Airventure for free if they never showed up in the mail?

You have to reserve a 3-night minimum. You don't have to reserve an entire week. They only have non-A/C rooms available at $75 a night. A first night deposit is due the week after you reserve a room and the remaining costs are due June 15th. You could also ask them to extend or shorten your...

I managed to reserve a room at UWO, booked my flight, and purchased my Airventure tickets. Looking forward to my first Airventure this summer!

How much is the price for Uber in general during Airventure? I assume it must cost a lot per ride. Also are there shuttles operating the Sunday to and from nearby commercial airports like ATW before the start of AirVenture? Or would I be left with an Uber to take me if I did not have a rental...

Hey, another question I have is if it is even necessary to pay for a rental car? I noticed there are shuttles to and from Airventure as well as to and from nearby commercial airports. Would it be worth the savings to rely on shuttles for transportation at Oshkosh? What about getting around...

I'm planning a trip to Airventure this summer. I've never been to Airventure before and plan to stay the week there. Is there anything important a first timer should know? I plan to fly commercial and stay in a nearby hotel. When do most people start booking the flights, hotels, cars...

Guys, just wondering but what is the official name for this 747 aircraft type? I noticed that some FAA documents refer this type as the Boeing 747-800 while the rest call it the Boeing 747-8.
