I'm planing to fly in for the first time the morning of 27 July in a C-172
and camp there a day. Any advice ?

Be REAl careful in the landing pattern :)
Land some place else close and wait till very early morning to pop over.

Dave,

I came in at a busy time over Ripon. Not a problem if you keep your eyes
open and listen up. Follow over the rail road tracks and don't cut corners
like the guy in front of you might be doing:)  The controllers will
appreciate it.  Rock your wings (don't speak) when they identify your
aircraft type and color.

Three aircraft can be landing on the same runway at once. Piece of cake.
Fun and incredibly well organized event.  I did it 3 years ago in my C-150
so you will have no problem.

Wish I was there also

Hi Dave,

I've flown a 172 into OSH many times...only from the S/W.
You've already heard some good advice, as well as some good natured ribbing.

Don't show up 25 miles out with marginal fuel. I've had to circle over a
point for 20-30 minutes while a runway incursion was cleared.

No matter how busy things get around you...always fly the airplane and leave
yourself a way out, you'll do just fine.

Best Regards,

L David Stricker
