Spodman,
I've worked at OSH for the past 3 years as a volunteer controller and I'm always awed by the vast number of aircraft that fly into OSH.
When the EAA and CAP volunteers counted the aircraft Tuesday night before the show on Wednesday they reported that we had 12,268 airplanes parked at OSH. All general aviation and camping parking was full, so airplanes were diverted to FLD, ATW, and MKE.
You just can't imagine what 12,268 airplanes parked at the same airport looks like until you actually see it. All I can say is save up your money and come and see OSH for yourselfs, it will be an experience of a live time that will make you the envy of your friends and future grand kids.
Next years show is going to celebrate the 100th aniversary of Flight. It is being billed that it will be the greatest gathering of acft ever!
Mike
