These days fly by so fast. That's usually the case when you're having fun ... and that's what we've been having the past several months in as we continue the on-going upgrades to the AirVenture grounds.
Along with everyone at EAA, I would like to sincerely thank our hard-working volunteers who have been lending helping hands over the past few weeks since Camp Scholler opened bright and early on June 25. As you probably know, we've had a little more than enough rain in recent weeks, so it's great to have dedicated individuals come together to pitch in wherever needed. It's another big reason in a long list of what makes AirVenture so special.
I know everyone is getting anxious to get into the grounds and experience AirVenture and all the upgrades. Instead of words, I'm going to let the pictures do the talking. We still have some landscaping and tidying up to do around the grounds (thanks to Mother Nature), but we should be all set to go by the time the gates open next Monday morning.
The new Warbirds in Review presentation pad has an early arrival ...
... and Scotts Warbird Alley has plenty of freshly laid sod ...
... surrounding the new addition to the Warbirds building.
The finishing touches are being applied to the area around and inside the North 40 shower building ...
... which will feature individual shower stalls ...
... as well as private showers accessible through solid doors from the outside.
North 40 residents will enjoy a new bike path from the Main Gate area ...
... leading to the North 40 aircraft camping area.
Expect less dust in several areas, including major roads in Camp Scholler, thanks to chip sealing.
Speaking of Camp Scholler, early arrivals are already making home in approximately 250 campsites with electric and water hookups ...
... and has several of the nearly 50 Wi-Fi stations and hot spots scattered throughout the grounds, like this one at the corner of Knapp Street and Schaick roads.
Exhibits are ready to be filled in this expanded part of Hangar C ...
... which now features indoor restrooms.
I hope you enjoy the improvements, and we'll see you at Oshkosh in a few short days!
