Fight Entrance fee to Air Adventure!!
1. How many of us spend lots of dollars $500 +++ to fly to Oshkosh and have our beautiful planes pawed all over, looked, touched scratched by belt buckles , sat on the wing by junior.
And then have to pay to get in the airshow!.
2. It should be free for those that put their airplane on display flying in from all over the country. If if wasn't for us they wouldn't have much to display.
3. A lot of shows are free if you fly your own plane in and display it.
4. Protest at your next EAA meeting and then let Poberezy know
FIGHT ENTRANCE FEES!!

Forget it Harry. EAA is all about making money. Having to put up with planes, pilots and et al is just an annoyance they have to endure in order to "clean up." OSH is not about experimental aircraft, new technology, exchange of ideas....its about max revenues and bottom line. As fair warning, I wouldn't protest too much or they'll look at the situation and figure out a way to charge you to breathe their air.

Amen Harry!
When I got back from Iraq in 03', I wrote the EAA a personal letter stating that showplanes were part of the airshow and the owners shouldn't have to pay entrance and camping fees and should be given a complimentary flight line pass. My response was basically to shut up and color. When I brought up the fact the the Warbirds of America had their gas and flight line passes taken care of, they reminded me that "they do that for them" exclusively. I agree Harry, it's a profit organization now and your airplane, despite being part of the show, might as well be a car in the parking lot...

How much money are we talking about, in addition to it being a matter of principle?

Harry,
Have some fun with these greedy bastards. Rope off your airplane next time you go so no one can get close to it, then if you are really looking for some feedback from EAA, charge a small fee to get inside the roped off area.
