Because the NOTAM tells you to. PLEASE follow the NOTAM.
The 2300' traffic and the 1800' traffic have to be merged at Fisk. If you're at 2300' the controllers have to assume you can't do 90 knots, and that means that they need to have extra space in front of you from Fisk to the airport. There's only two paths you can take from Fisk, one is the east-west road and the other is the railroad tracks. They often have to split traffic that might have been a bit too close arriving at Fisk by sending one one way, and one the other... And if you show up at Fisk ± a minute from that, you're going back to Ripon.The NOTAM instructs the faster aircraft (Lancairs etc) to slow down to 135 KIAS anyway. So this RV-10 is not going to hold up any traffic it seems. Yes?
NOTAM 2025 page 5 instructs: "Faster aircraft use 135 knots and 2300' if needed for safety of flight".
If the intent of the Arrival procedure is to get as many aircraft, as efficient as possible safely to downwind, I would argue this RV-10 should stay out of 1800' lane and not further congest the 1800' Puckaway holding pattern
Presumably you mean Watertown (RYV)?
Watertown is a terrible, terrible place to stay. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.Presumably you mean Watertown (RYV)?
Arriving on Tuesday, you'll probably be *way* down in the South 40 if you're doing GAC.
Yep Watertown! Good news on decent Mexican there and margaritas are medicinal by keeping scurvy away. I'm at the Super 8.Presumably you mean Watertown (RYV)?

Yeah, but will I have them at SOS when you run into me trying to get them!
I can understand why you'd bring them to SOS. There are often things needing to be tied down there.
Cool! El Mariachi? Watertown is close enough that I can kinda justify going there for dinner and then drive home on the back roads should that become necessary for some reason.
I was only partially kidding. If you draw a line from Green Bay southwest to maybe La Crosse, most of the airports south of that line in Wisconsin are also pretty busy during the show.I am SO glad I wasn't drinking a soft drink when I read that ... it'd have come out my nose laughing so hard
I won't be folding my laundry either
Drying towels, t-shirts, socks, etc? A couple of clothes pins and hang 'em from the prop.
This place has a drop off service that’s the best thing since sliced bread. Bring in your stuff in the morning, get it washed and folded later in the day. Oshkosh is usually the first week of an annual two week vacation - so it’s great to get everything washed.I usually camp in the North 40. I’ve gone to this laundromat just north of the field.

Bit of good luck. I just got a dorm room that opened up at UW Oskhosh, so I'm a lot closer than staying at Ripon college.
When you register your aircraft parking, you'll get a fuel card to hang from your prop. There's fuel trucks running up and down all of the parking/camping areas during the show. They'll see your card and fill your order-usually within 24 hrs of you hanging the card. You can pay at one of 2 "fuel shacks" or you can get their number and just call them. I've got the number in my phone and will try to remember to post it here. Conversely many folks fuel up at closer airports enroute so they don't need fuel at Osh. I've always just gotten mine at Osh without issue.
Register parking? Great, ANOTHER thing to figure out how to do...
To be honest, I'm not totally sure how GA parking works as far as registration. I just assumed it is the same as it is for us homebuilts where you register whether you park or camp, the only difference being if you park there's no cost and no camping creationals to display. So maybe if you're only parking there's no registration requirement but safe bet you can always ask the marhallers who park you. Also you can wave down a fuel truck (they typically have spare fuel cards) or go to the fuel shack, N40 Registration, or Homebuilt HQ on the flight line to get a card. I'm sure Vintage and S40 have someplace to go as well I'm just not familiar with how the operate. Flyingron can probably set up straight on the process.Register parking?

1969
Rejoin and holding locations should also be part of the 30%. Don't want to be learning that in the air.
Unless you're parking by friends, HBC/HBP will put you closer to the E-AB action by a wide margin. Vintage is the closest to show center by a narrow margin over HBC. The grounds map (a snippet I posted above) is available here although it's still last years version but good enough for you to make a plan off of: https://www.eaa.org/airventure/plan-your-eaa-airventure-trip/map
1969 year of manufacture can park in Vintage. We'll be glad to have you.
There's no such thing as EXPERIMENTAL vs CERTIFIED parking.
He's not legal to park in HBC/HBP.
I don’t know what he flies, just going off what he posted where he said he was eligible.
He said in an earlier post he has an experimental certificate Cessna. That doesn't get him into HBC.
Could be an EAB 172. Not saying his is, just noting that I didn't see anywhere that described how his ended up experimental, so it's possible.
I'm signed up - logging on in an hour.
didn’t know and didn’t say it would
