Well, I have the good fortune of living in Appleton about 15 miles north of Oshkosh, so I get the opportunity to go every year. I turned 30 yrs. old earlier this year and aside from 1990- 1991 when I was touring the country for those summers, I have gone to the convention every year since before I was born. My Dad dragged my Mom to the convention when she was carrying me.
The thing that amazes me is how many people I talk to every year from this area that have never gone to Airventure. I guess when you are so close to something, it is easy to take it for granted.
Everyone enjoy themselves and for those flying to it, have a safe trip.
