DAY 3 (July 27th)
Rain poured down on Oshkosh. Parking was never a problem at EAA AirVenture.They made sure there are plenty of room for everyone. $8 per day. The parking lot is a just big piece of grassland near the Wittman Regional Airport. It was a fine place for visitors until the rain kicked in. It was all mud, then. One of our cars did, in fact, experience some trouble at the end of the day.
But even in the rain there are a plenty to do there. The EAA Museum is indoors and dry. The exhibition takes up two stories of the building just outside the gates of AirVenture event grounds. This is the place to learn about what we've seen outside for the past two days. It is a place of discovery. What delight it is for aviation enthusiasts to walk under an up-side-down aircraft frozen in the act of an aerobatic maneuver!
Also, there are speeches arranged(not only on rainy days, of course!). This is the chance to get to know more about historical flights, and to listen to the minds of designing masters.
I've got only this much to say: Do not miss the museum when visiting the EAA AirVenture! It is every bit as good as the show outside.
