I went last year. WOW! what an event!
Went 3 days before it started. Like that better, less security, freedom of movement, etc. It is dry camping. Park on NICE grass, rope off your spot so no one claims any of your spot. Looks like about 50,000 RV's at the height of the event. NO PROBLEM though. Could have handled more! Would suggest that you go early if you want to "rally" some rigs together. Get a good seat(if there is such a thing, I like to be on a hump case it rains)closer to the action. Group up somewhere outside the gate and go in at the same time, as they do not allow you to "save" someone a spot, first come first served. Really worth it to go! If you do not belong to the Experimental Aircraft Association, you will have to join if you want to camp there. Might get to go, not sure yet...

I agree, great show, nothing else like it!! This year, I have heard
that Burt Rutan's "White Night" and Spaceship will be there. We were there 4 or 5 years ago, back in the dark ages when we had our 20' Toyota.. We camped at a 'Farm Type' campground a few miles away. They had electricity & Water, and a shuttle bus.. We needed to run the A/C to keep the Critters cool. (No power avalable at the big campground, and running the Generator there was a big no no). Later, on the way home, in Kentucky, we saw "Glacier Girl"..

Makin' us old timers remember the good ole days and
times... wonder what year anniversary the year 2005 will be? Attended for many years prior to about 1975 so it might be approaching 50th year.
