We got there on the Weds before it started to get our camping spot for our group and then left the following Weds during the show. We got parked 10 minutes before the 2-3" rain. Next day we would have buried our 40' diesel pusher trying to drive in the resulting mud.
I got 6 rounds as co-pilot in EAA's 1929 Ford Trimotor on Monday morning hauling rides.
It got stupid hot after that. Traffic/construction on the Indiana turnpike was just awful this year.
They expanded camping even larger this year along with the extended aircraft parking areas to the south.
Food prices went thru the roof. An order of french-fries was $8. I think the burger was $14. Small rootbeer float was $8. Admission was $49 per day. Camping spot in the mud was $39/day.
All that said, It was the busiest I have seen it on Monday and Tuesday. I heard there were 15,000 campsite spots paid for.
2-3" rain just after we arrived.
Mud pit couple days later at the same intersection next to our coach
