It's a greater distance than in a lot of cities for sure, but commute times are probably about the same LOL. It's amazing how much further you can drive at 80mph, that's about 128Km/h for you Europeans
, than you can stuck in traffic at 7mph's 
Sounds like I need to set up some cots in the barn amongst the raccoons and pigeons. Need to watch out for the coyotes when you step out behind the trees for the 2am bladder drain.

It's true that most likely it takes you the same time from Milwaukee or Madison to Green Bay than it would from one side of New York, Los Angeles or Chicago to the other one though.
Depending on the weather we have in April, it could really test your humility in one of those thingsThanks for the offer, and don't worry, despite me being a European I'm well aware that no one looks socially acceptable in one of those outfits
Thinking about it I probably prefer Mondio's offer despite that no banana hammock rule in place
I'm hoping for snow that day, give them all a taste of The Frozen Tundra. Packer fans will be wearing shorts and no shirts. Area stores will sell out of parkas, gloves, hats and hand warmers.I'm of the opinion that if Eastern Wisconsin can handle E.A.A. Oshkosh every year, we can surely handle that.
Now, whether or not some softie, whiney, cry-babies from other parts of this great nation can handle Wisconsin's 45 degree high temps in April, well, that's another matter. If they have any doubt they should stay home and off of social media...where they'd be tacitly admitting they're softie, whiney, cry-baby candy ***e$.
Just sayin' ...
That’s one thing I miss from my Teen years is the Fly in. Used to have some good times with my late Stepfather and his Son camping there (he was an Air Force pilot)I'm of the opinion that if Eastern Wisconsin can handle E.A.A. Oshkosh every year, we can surely handle that.

I've been in Oshkosh permanently since '93 and "off and on" since '80. Now, I live just across Hwy 41 from the runways. I managed a bar on Main Street while I was in college for 5 years and I have to tell you that I met some of the BEST people I've ever met during those crazy days, when Fly-In folks would literally take over the city. My father-in-law grew up right by the airport (and he ended up being the head of corporate aviation for a huge international auto parts manufacturer) so his parents always got flight-line passes from EAA which I grudgingly accepted.
Signs by the houses lining Lombardi and Oneida Streets: "Mitten For Sale $75. Left AND a Right $125.
Trust me, the eyes of my family and my own are a concern.
I love air shows. Some pics I took of a smaller one in Chippewa Last year about this time. We've take the kids to the EAA museum a couple times, but never the EAA Fly in itself. Going to maybe go sit out on the lake this year and try and catch some of the action now that they're old and can spend more time out there.
Great pics!! Really. The year the Thunderbirds were in Oshburg ... the street my son's house is on runs right in line with the BIG runway, so during their show, I was standing in the middle of his street as these guys flew over and my gawd ... talk about whiplash - they're there one second and gone the next ... sorta like my paycheck ... I could FEEL not only the sound, but, the heat trail. THAT is really awesome (a term I seldom use)
