Zenith parking at Oshkosh

I'll be attending my 1st Oshkosh ( I'm 64 ) for the entire event and was wondering if there was a pre determined parking area for Zenith Aircraft or is that something that's determined as planes begin arriving?

I haven't been this excited in a long long time!

Hi John,

I have attended several consecutive OSH’s in my 801.  My experience is that the ‘follow me’ guys have all of that figured out and make every effort to park similar aircraft together.  I will be in home built camping, and expect that there will be a few Zeniths next to me.  So if you arrive on the early side,  you will likely get parked with other Zenith’s.  But if you are late to the party,  you will get any available spot.  If you are trying to park next to a particular Zenith, you would need to fly in together as a group of two to be sure that happened.

If you are planning to camp in HBC, you will be treated well.  The HBC pavilion has coffee every morning, shower trailers with private units and hot/cold, and BBQs to use.  

Im on my 8th OSH….  The excitement doesn’t go away.  Can’t wait.  Hope to see you there.

Dan

Thanks Dan,  I'm not flying in,...my project ( 750 STOL) is quite a few hours away from even thinking about flying anywhere!

I'm more interested in looking at as many flying examples as possible and being a 'newbie ' I wasn't sure how the process works. 

I'll most probably walk the entire flight line anyway.  Appreciate your response and helpful info and maybe I'll get a look at your airplane!

I am parked (and camping) in Home-Built camping, row 321 just off the taxi way.  Feel free to drop in.
