Just got back from a weekend work party at Oshkosh. Many of the improvements on the "new south 40" can be found on the Airventure website. Elsewhere, for those in Camp Scholler, if you end up at the far south end a new 72 stall shower facility has been built. The west market store has been rebuilt and now includes the laundry. The federal pavilion building is gone along with the cafe close to it. This will be the new "north aircraft display area" ( where Kitfox LLC is usually located) moving it closer to the main area of the show. The federal agencies will now be in hangar D. They have moved the majority of the non-aviation companies out of the display hangers. Exhibit space in the hangars is sold out for this year with 55 companies on the waiting list. Unfortunately the emerald ash borer has done a lot of damage, so quite a few shade trees are gone (we took down 3 more this morning). This is the second time I've been there before the show and to see it "empty" is still quite a sight. 43 days and counting!
