Wow… If you have ever seen a guy with his jaw on the floor, that was me yesterday. \u00a0It was my first experience at OshKosh and I was just stunned. \u00a0The trip report will have a full run down of the mornings happenings (and it wasn’t good but it was eventful) and I got to the show around about 1:30pm ish.<\/p>\n
Sunday for me was not going to be a full on day, it was meant to be a quiet, get myself orientated morning where I could get myself situated and scope out where stuff was so that Monday morning I could hit the ground running. \u00a0Well that was the smartest idea ever. \u00a0When I walked through the gates my jaw dropped. \u00a0My god how huge is this place. \u00a0Describing it in words is tough, the easiest is “imagine a sea of aircraft as far as the horizon, turn around and picture the same thing.” \u00a0That is OshKosh.<\/p>\n
I got a basic tour of the place by one of the guys from EAA (thanks Brady) and it was a great way for me to figure out where to go and what to see. \u00a0I have my ideas in place of what I need to see and who I need to speak to as well. \u00a0By the time I got out of there around 4ish my head was swimming. \u00a0I still don’t know how it is going to happen all week but this is going to be pure overload this week I just know it.<\/p>\n
I finished off the night by getting myself set up at the hotel and just getting my bearings on the small town that is Fond Du Luc. \u00a0It is a half decent base and it seems a lot of the guys from EAA are going to be here as well. \u00a0So far I know that Shell Aviation is staying here and some other exhibitors as well. \u00a0Good hotel choice! \u00a0Plus I found the best ice cream in town just a couple miles down the road \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Today is going to be my first real day at the show and things are bound to be just as crazy!<\/p>\n
