Once upon a time I went to Disney World … well, sort of. A man I knew owned a Piper Cherokee and wanted to fly to Pensacola, Florida, to see the Naval Air Museum. He asked me to go because he didn’t have an instrument rating and I guess he was a little sweet on me. I was otherwise romantically “embroiled,” but I had no plans over that Thanksgiving holiday and said OK if he was cool with a separate-rooms/just-friends relationship.
Unusual Attitudes: My AirVenture Adventure
Key Takeaways:
- The author recounts a highly negative experience at Disney World due to crowds, high costs, and general discomfort, using it as a direct parallel for her equally strong dislike of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
- Her aversion to Oshkosh stems from chaotic ground operations, restrictive rules, unhelpful staff, high costs, and the overall crowds and regimentation of the event.
- Despite consistently vowing never to return due to unpleasant experiences, she inexplicably finds herself attending Oshkosh every few years, preferring the simple freedom of personal flying over large airshow spectacles.
