Oshkosh B'Gosh

I get to go to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh for the first time this year. Yippee! 10,000 visiting airplanes make Oshkosh the busiest airport in the world during "The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration". 2,500 showplanes, 500 forums, 100's of vendors, aviation museums, music by Chicago, Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band and Asleep at the Wheel. I also get to go to a special reception for EAA Chapter Presidents. Free food and drinks...wouldn't miss it.

I do have a question or minor pet peeve about AirVenture. I couldn't find the words "experimental" or "homebuilt" on the professionally built home page linked above. The letters "EAA" stand for Experimental Aircraft Association. Are they afraid of the word Experimental? Inquiring minds want to know.

I'll be going with Dan, the husband of one of Paula's co-workers. He's got a similar aviation background. Paula said his wife was happy to have someone to sub for her as she's been many times.
