July 25, 201015 yr Author Moderator Well they wouldn't let me in today. Usually the public can go in the day before and watch the planes arrive. It sure would have been nice to know that BEFORE I drove there. :(If you buy your Monday admission online and print it out, you can use it for Admission on Sunday......which is why after I check in at my motel, I'll drive on up to KOSH and get my wrist band, so I can wander around a bit this afternoon/evening!:)Your brave listing your telephone number :(Disposable phones are handy sometimes... :( Fr.

July 25, 201015 yr If you buy your Monday admission online and print it out, you can use it for Admission on Sunday......which is why after I check in at my motel, I'll drive on up to KOSH and get my wrist band, so I can wander around a bit this afternoon/evening!I've got a weekly pass. I drove down there this morning and some old fart volunteer told me to leave because there was no public parking open. I posted on their forums and it seems he was full of it. I'm too angry to go back down there today. I'd probably do something irrational and or regrettable. 200 @#(%&@^& dollars for tickets and this is how we're treated. I'm gonna talk to someone tomorrow morning when I get my wristband. :( :( :( Tired of Streetlights everywhere? Try MSFS DarkStreets today!

One really needs to pay close attention to Vmca, especially in a bizjet!It was a genuine pleasure to meet you and your lovely family, Ed! I was truly surprised at just how much you resemble your Avatar! :( I'm seriously thinking about renting a good sized popup camper trailer for next year, and spending more than two days... :( Fr.
