One's first Oshkosh is filled with a special excitement and energy a kin to a lot of firsts in life. Your head will be spinning and you won't know where to go first -- you won't be able to touch and feel everything -- and that's great the first few visits -- (then you get more selective and plan a bit). I'm sure you'll get a lot of "chatter" and suggestions -- but definitely the place to meet and greet will be the IAC building, just inside the flightline gate under the big scoreboard, just SE of the tower. (BTW -- the big board was erected for the last WAC in the USA in 1980.) Although you'll find IAC folks there at all times, most folks congregate just before the airshow. There is also a notebook in which to leave messages -- in case you miss someone or plans change. In case you do get past the euphoria and want to plan your time a bit, you may study the forum and demonstration schedules ahead of time on the web or in the program book (or Sport Aviation) to zero in on your interests. There is an IAC sponsored forum (usually in the same tent at the same morning hour each day). Depending on program content, you run into a lot of IACers there also. The commercial buildings (better than gambling your $$ away), in my opinion, are best visited early before the heat of day and madding crowds. If you're a soft-serve ice cream fan, be sure to try the Wisconsin frozen "custard" at the concession stands. (No food or drink on the flightline.) The IAC building, beside the shaded front porch, offers a spot to rest under an umbrella and a cold drink for sale. My schedule this year will not permit an extended stay, but will be flying in and out for a couple of days, August First for sure. Hope to meet you at the IAC building. ENJOY!
