Thursday 7/29 update #2: Aircraft parking camping

Complete aircraft parking information is available at www.airventure.org/aircraft/parking_status.asp

The General Aviation Camping Area is now closed to new arrivals. The General Aviation Parking Area is still open to new arrivals. Clear skies today helped dry aircraft parking areas. However, numerous spots of soft ground are still interspersed among solid areas in the General Aviation Camping and Parking areas and especially in the grass taxiways that provide access to the areas. Crews continue to survey the grounds to locate areas that are safe for aircraft parking and that are also accessable from Oshkosh runways. Metal matting has been placed in critical soft spots on the turf taxiways.

Oshkosh showplane camping and parking areas are currently open for new arrivals. These areas accommodate:
- Experimental aircraft (homebuilts)
- Vintage Aircraft (manufactured prior to 1971)
- Warbirds
- Seaplanes
- Rotorcraft
- Ultralights
