This usually has the lowest traffic of the day, we have plenty of fuel, are rested and fresh and so are the other pilots and controllers. We have never been diverted to the Rush Lake holding Merry Go Round. If you choose the 1800' low and slow pattern you should be comfortable flying behind a Cub or Champ. Don't plan on "Fisk Control" seeing and acknowledging you either, we have not been spotted and called for 5 out of the past 8 years. Listen to all the frequencies 50+ miles out to know what to expect so you can continue without being directed. Check the EAA website http://www.airventure.org/atc/index.html review the arrival procedures with your passenger/aircraft spotter and print the NOTAM. If you can arrange your schedule to depart a day (or two) early if necessary and arrive OSH to avoid weather it will eliminate the frustration of sitting on the ground and coming in with the hoard held out by the same weather. This suggestion works better for the unemployed.
