Now there is a politically correct statement if I ever heard one!
Personally, it is all about the airplanes for me, but then again I'm antisocial. If everyone dropped off their planes and left, I'd be perfectly happy.
Was talking about this with someone. The nature of Oshkosh is that there are different ways of experiencing it, and it is so big that you can only do one well. You can go to see planes, to see people, to have fun flying or being flown, to learn at the workshops and forums, to shop. Whichever you choose to focus on, Oshkosh will still be over before you've finished with it.
Personally I'm with you bdk, I am there for the planes, and ended up taking a pass on almost all the opportunites I had for socializing and rides, and never went inside a forum or vendor building except to shelter from the Thursday storm. It was just dawn to dusk watching and shooting the planes in the parking areas or on the taxiways and runways for me. If I got to Oshkosh more years, I might spend more time sampling its other dimensions. Or maybe not!
