Rain on Thursday offered an additional
challenge to ground preparations for AirVenture, but those challenges
are being met and arrivals continue to be accommodated at the grounds at
Oshkosh.
“There are challenges every year when
preparing for and during Oshkosh,” EAA chairman/president Tom
Poberezny said. “The advantage of nearly 60 years of fly-in experience
is that plans are in place to meet situations such as this. We are
making the necessary adjustments based on current conditions.”
The bulk of camping aircraft will not
arrive until the weekend, so there is plenty of parking to accommodate
early arrivals. In addition, drive-in camping units continue to arrive
at Camp Scholler.
“People have been very patient and
appreciate the extra mile our volunteers are going to help them,”
Poberezny said. “Those volunteers and EAA staff are doing everything
necessary to be ready for the opening of AirVenture on July 26.”
EAA will continue to update conditions to
provide accurate information and assistance to all those traveling to
Oshkosh for the event, which starts July 26. AirVenture aircraft parking
status is also available online
here.
