Oshkosh 2025

On deck at KRYV for the night and hitting the entry early tomorrow.
 
I hadn’t been to Osh and stayed in Scholler for a few years…insanely huge now. I thought it was tough finding a tent space yesterday and we arrived around noon. (Had to unpack the plane to drive, neither one of us was patient enough to wait for better weather, lol!). Parallel parked along the west side of the soybeans and fence row, tent camping.

Set up chairs along 18-36 yesterday afternoon for 3 or so hours and didn’t realize until we were leaving that we had our backs to @Lowflynjack ‘s plane/tent…no matter, he’s always somewhere else working photo gigs :)
 
is there a list of POA'ers tie down spots?
mine is spot 152 south 40.... anyone near by?
 
Landed in Appleton earlier today. I’m running around with my kid if anyone sees us and wants to say hi.

So got my first trip to out to Basler today. N40 has filled up nicely but still lots of room in GAC in the grass. The hard ramp by Basler is full. I estimate that HBC is only about 2/3 to 3/4 full. Still haven’t scoped out Vintage (although we’ll be over there tonight to visit the pirate bar) or S40. Pedestrian traffic seems normal, maybe slightly under from the past couple of years.

I appear to be next to Basler/ the terminal building. On the plus side it’s an easy uber pick up to get to the dorms from the plane. On the minus side it’s a shuttle, bus ride, and tram to get to the middle of things. Next time I’ll see the plane will be Fri morning when leaving.

Row 647

Well it’s a heck of a sacrifice on my part, but I’m willing to host a POA get together at Sleepy Hollow Tuesday and Thursday evening because you guys are worth it. :biggrin::rofl: Seriously I’ll grab a table around 5:30 both nights and maybe make a little POA sign or something for identification— I’ll be wearing a cowboy hat so will be pretty noticeable. Anyone who’s around is welcome to come by and hang out either night or both!

Hola - checking in and hoping you didn’t come to your senses, and that we’re all still invited to come over Tuesday and Thursday around 5:30.

Ah man, sorry I missed you! I’ve been around the plane a lot more this year, work should pick up soon!

Where’s the pirate bar? Found the beer coffin yesterday and feel like I need to keep exploring.

If you’re in Vintage, it’s behind the yellow showers. You won’t miss it… lit up like the 4th of July.

Idk what kind of planes were buzzing by nonstop at 615am, but they're a better alarm clock than any ring tone my phone has. And here I was setting multiple alarms on my phone to make sure I don't sleep in!

Yeah, it's basically impossible to sleep past 6 here, although i have managed it with earplugs. Adjust accordingly.

Glad you made it! Hope to see you tonight!

I call them flying chainsaws.
 
Yeah, heard that racket as well, all the way over in the dorms!

Probably the ultra lights getting some early morning still air. Reminded me of those old Cox 049 glow plug motors.
 
0600 launch of T-6 flight to wake everyone up is a tradition started by Paul Poberezny, I think. It is mentioned in his exhibit in the museum, IIRC.

BTW for newbies, the museum is well worth the effort to get to. It's not too far from where we are meeting tonight.
 
Spot 1, Row 517 in the N40 was just vacated by our neighbors.
 
I’m seeing that twins aren’t allowed in for parking at the moment unless you have a reservation at basler. Anyone have any more info?

Planning on coming in Thursday morning, in my PA30, maybe it’ll be open to twins by then. Kind of frustrating because my footprint is basically the same as a 172. Less wingspan, less than a foot longer.

I think it’s because they’ve had folks get stuck in the grass.
 
Two spots opened up in row 516 right next to the green showers.
Our neighbor in the same row will be leaving tomorrow morning.

The site notes all twin parking is taken, which are specific rows. But if you come in around Thursday noon, the odds are better that a few will have left. Most of the parking guys probably won’t have the authority/take the risk of trying to fit you into a single spot that opened.

It’s even bigger than what you saw. I’ve driven throughout it this year and it never ceases to amaze me.

I was basically a professional hiker for 20 years and there is no way I would try to walk that entire area.

I just walked through Scholler for the first time. I had no idea there were that many campers in the universe.

You're lucky you don't have to wait for hours to exit Scholler on Sunday because every RV in the universe is waiting in line to dump its blackwater tank.
 
N40 row 351. Wx looks crappy tomorrow. Should I sit in my tent and drink?
