    I love your videos man. The content feels so authentic and I love that. Keep it up please. I'm a pilot with about 900hrs and I really feel like I can be like you one day!

    We've been 4 times now. It was our almost 3 year Olds first time. Went with my husband and our 2 boys. I highly recommend EAA Oshkosh Airventure to everyone!! Saturday we went and stayed for the fireworks.. AMAZING!!!

      What's your tips for someone who comes from abroad who wants to visit(not in an airplane)

    • @MorganASpencer
      @MorganASpencer 2 роки тому +1

      @@Arcadiez I say go for it!! We don't fly either, we drive about an hour. But my advice would be, if your not planning to camp at the event then book your hotel a while in advance, they fill up quick. Also when you come the way they direct everyone is great. They also have a map of everything there. It lasts a few days. They do amazing fireworks the first night and on that Saturday. For us, we only go 1 day and always go on Saturdays so we can see the fireworks. Always check the schedule to plan your stay. And if u have small kiddos definitely bring a stroller or something similar. It's A LOT of walking. Any other questions let me know!!

    First of all I would like to say thank you. Found your channel while recovering from a horrible car wreck and it has helped lift my spirits. Because of seeing this channel and career changes I am forced to make I am hoping to get my FAA clearance in two weeks to begin flight school. Thank you and hope to meet you one day.

    Just incredible, this is my second video of yours and I am drawn-in. I live 1 hour south of OSH (also there this year) and was delighted when I saw this video "pop up" over to the right. The amount of time you put in to editing of these videos has to be exhausting, but we sure do appreciate that. You sir, have a new subscriber.

    My company hosts a booth, we worked all week, its a LONG week. But we officially only have to work 3 or 4 4hr shifts, leaving plenty of time to roam around. This was my second year. Mon, Tues, Wed are the best. I am again disappointed that planes and people started to leave on Fri and Sat. Leaving Sun really quiet. I felt like there wasnt as much small plane flying as last year. I guess fuel prices got most people.

    As a private pilot, no longer current, I would love to attend Oshkosh. However, I have difficulty walking and would require a mobility scooter at least and concerned about recharging, etc. Anything you can add would be appreciated. I watch all the YT videos and drool!. Thanks!

    • @orbitalair2103
      @orbitalair2103 2 роки тому +1

      they rent scooters, say lots of people on them. They limit a lot of things like that, but you can ask if they would let you take your own. They let parents bring wagons for thier kids, say lots and lots of people pulling 1,2 or 3 tykes in a wagon.

    Have been twice now. I’m not really an airplane enthusiast but for me the main draw is the Warbirds. It’s a way to connect with my dad who was a P38 pilot in WW II. My son is a pilot, has a Sonex so he loves to fly it in with one of his kids. I drive & meet them there, we camp by the plane. I would go every year if I could. Always something different to see.

    Our family went to Oshkosh more than 30 years ago. There were over 100,000 people present. There was not a scrap of waste of any kind on the ground. Everyone was positive, courteous, and friendly. The aircraft, demonstrations, and presentations were awe inspiring. There were no political statements being made or implied, just people being bonded by their shared passion. We hope that Americans can be similarly bonded by our shared patriotism. That's probably over optimistic, But the folks conducting and attending Oshkosh have set a sterling example. As non-flyers, it was (probably) a once in a lifetime experience -- a great event to visit and one that we reminisce about every year at this time. Best wishes to all at EAA Airventure !
