In July of 2012, I saw my twitter feed explode from all of the #OSH12 tweets.  After a week getting insanely jealous of everyone, I decided that for 2013 I would be going to the EAA AirVenture show.  I managed to get myself to Oshkosh from July 28th through August 3rd, which enabled me to see a large portion of the show.

I really only missed out on the mass arrivals on the 27th and the final night show on the 3rd; I could live with that.  This was my first time at Oshkosh, so I was given a whole range of tips from fellow AirlineReporter.com correspondent Howard, who had attended a few years prior.  He also set me up with a contact at EAA for a tour of the grounds, which was helpful, since it can be a bit overwhelming.
